The last time the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets met, there was a massive brawl that led to suspensions on both sides. Both teams are much different heading into a second matchup, but there still stands to possibly be some tension between the sides.
Coincidentally, the Lakers will be without the two players involved in the fight. Brandon Ingram is dealing with a sprained ankle while Rajon Rondo is close, but hasn’t quite recovered from surgery to repair a hand fracture. But this hasn’t stopped the Lakers from winning two straight and six of their last seven.
