HOUSTON —
Even if Anthony Davis wasn’t forced to the Lakers bench in a green hoodie and golden baseball cap, the trends say it probably would’ve looked sort of like this in Houston anyways – at least early.
The Lakers, who have been the worst first quarter team in the entire NBA through seven games this season weren’t any better in game eight, another bad start leading to another road loss, this one to the Houston Rockets, 128-94.
Houston led by as many as 15 points in the first quarter – the sixth time this year the Lakers have been down by at least 10 at a point during the first quarter.
