HOUSTON -- The Los Angeles Lakers' nightmare of a road trip continued with another injury to a rotation player and another loss -- this one in blowout fashion, 128-94 to the Houston Rockets -- on Wednesday.

Eight games into the season, with L.A. 3-5 and 0-3 on its current four-game road trip to drop its record to 0-5 outside of the friendly confines of Crypto.com Arena, LeBron James admitted that he doesn't know what to make of his team so far.

"I don't have an assessment," James said after scoring 18 points in 27 minutes, as coach Darvin Ham finally found a way to cut the star's minutes by sitting him the entire fourth quarter with the game out of reach.
