The Los Angeles Lakers wrapped up an eight-game road trip on Saturday night as they were absolutely throttled by an energized Houston Rockets team. The Kobe Bryant farewell tour racked up stops and tributes along the way, but the Lakers as a team only racked up losses as a whole.
The Lakers finished the road trip going 1-7 over the eight games and losing their last six games of that stretch. Not that anyone came into the road trip expecting a great deal of success from this team, but 1-7 is a pretty good indication of what kind of Lakers team that we are dealing with here.
