The Los Angeles Lakers were absolutely embarrassed on the road on Saturday night as the 27-point loss that they ultimately incurred was a far kinder result than what actually took place on the hardwood. There’s no time for the Lakers to lick their wounds, though, as they are back at STAPLES Center on Sunday night for a matchup with the Houston Rockets.
Both teams limp into this game as both Kobe Bryant and Larry Nance Jr. left the Lakers’ game on Saturday early due to injuries and there are five players listed on the injury report for the Rockets coming into this contest.
