The Rockets have gone from a solid position in their second round series with the Los Angeles Lakers to deep trouble, losing three straight.
The game two loss was frustrating, as the Lakers had a (most likely) unrepeatable shooting night.
The game three loss was a shoulder shrug, as the Rockets played well, but LeBron James had a first half for the ages, and the Rockets wilted down the stretch.
The game four loss was a damned disaster.
There are of course contributing factors. The House Arrest situation, on which there has been no further clarity.
