Los Angeles Lakers: Six lessons from loss to Houston Rockets

Mark this game down Los Angeles Lakers fans, if the Lakers go into a tailspin, this game might be the one that started it all. The Lakers tried…BOY they tried, but did not win a game that they should have won.

After racing to a quick lead that ballooned to 21 at one point, the Lakers lost an overtime thriller to the Houston Rockets 138-134 that had to be easily one of the most entertaining games of the year.

Luke Walton joked before the game that if James Harden could be held under 50 points in the game it would be considered a success.
