In contrast to last season, when the Los Angeles Lakers made their efforts on the worldwide holiday of Christmas and actually won, they were destroyed by the Houston Rockets last night. It was supposed to be a historical match, led by two superstars going head-to-head in LeBron James versus Kevin Durant, but fans of the LA Clippers realized that Kawhi Leonard and James Harden should have been the duo to spoil the highly-watched, annual event for Houston.
In fact, the Clippers just defeated the Rockets by 20 points, who could not stop the superstar tandem that combined for 70 points, right after they had lost to the Sacramento Kings; LA handed Houston its fourth loss in five games.
