Takeaways from practice: Rockets get ready for Lakers

The Houston Rockets held a practice today before their first meeting of the year against the Los Angeles Lakers. Coming off their third straight victory, the Rockets are playing their best basketball in several seasons. After today's practice, we spoke with Coach Udoka, Dillon Brooks and Jabri Smith Jr. We got an update from Coach Udoka on the status of Tari Eason, and of course, we heard from Brooks on his matchup with LeBron.

Brooks is facing off against LeBron James for the first time since the Memphis Grizzlies were bounced from the playoffs last season.
