Final: Rockets 128, Lakers 94
The Lakers drop to 3-5 in another disappointing loss. They are 0-3 on this four-game road trip and 0-5 on the road this season. D’Angelo Russell had 22 points. LeBron James had 18.
Up next: at PHX in their first in-season tournament game. – 10:24 PM

Bad sequence for LeBron. He truly conceded a wide-open three from Tate, then brings the ball up, no look towards anybody else, clearly looking to answer the triple. One-dribble pullup. Miss. AK – 9:41 PM

Halftime: Rockets 66, Lakers 45
Another disappointing first half from LA, even when factoring in their missing AD and others. Rui Hachimura has 15 points, picking up where he left off in the Kings loss. LeBron has 9 points. HOU has 44 points in the paint and 15 fast-break… – 9:19 PM

Thus far, the Lakers lobbying on LeBron’s behalf for more calls isn’t paying dividends. You can feel his frustration on every driving miss at the rim. AK – 8:57 PM

The Rockets haven’t finished a game over .500 since they won in Memphis of February 4, 2021. Christian Wood sprained his ankle in that game and the team lost the next 20. The Rockets can get over .500 with a win over Wood (and LeBron James) and the Lakers tonight – 7:59 PM

I know this much: If one of LeBron’s teammates passes him the ball and LeBron misses a wide-open jumper to win the game, the loudest portion of blame will fall on the man who misses the shot rather than the man who passes to him. pic.twitter.com/VubSmQ8352 – 6:02 PM

LeBron James is playing at an MVP-caliber level too – he’s one of four players averaging at least 25, eight and five – but will this early workload come back to haunt the Lakers? One of many breakdowns here, at @TheAthletic
