New cuff for the Lakers, they were also defeated by the Rockets
Continuation for the Lakers who saw the Rockets get just their 2nd win in their last 15 games, beating the LA team 139-130 in overtime.
The Lakers are so bad now, they’re even losing to teams that… don’t want to win. However, for the Rockets, who are targeting the 7 games.
Jalen Green led the winners with 32 points (including 10 in overtime), while Alperen Cengun and Josh Christopher each added 21 points.
For the Lakers – who count among other things 9 away losses in a row – Russell Westbrook had 30 points, LeBron James 23 points (but with 9/26 shots), 14 rebounds and 12 assists and Malik Monk 20 points.
