The Los Angeles Lakers look to keep their perfect road record intact as the face the Houston Rockets in a rematch from Sunday night. L.A. can secure their third straight road series sweep this season, having done so to the San Antonio Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies already.
The first contest against the Rockets was the Lakers’ best defensive performance of the season as they forced 21 turnovers on the night and got their hands on any number of balls. Anthony Davis returned to the lineup after a game off and dominated offensively with 27 points while also setting the tone on defense with three blocks.
