The Los Angeles Lakers will travel to Houston to take on the Rockets in the second game of a back to back. The two teams opened up the season against each other and the Rockets won in a convincing fashion. Click here to read the recap of the first matchup.
Last night, the Lakers earned their first road of the season. Kobe Bryant scored 28 points and became a member of the 32,000 point club. The Lakers played strong team basketball and it paid dividends as they beat the Hawks by a score of 114-109.
On the other hand, the Rockets have started off the season hot. They hold a record of 9-2 and have one of the strongest defenses in the league. Currently the Rockets are giving up 91.6 points a game which is second fewest in the NBA.
It will be a tough task for the Lakers to get pass this tenacious Rocket defense. A underlying story for the game will be Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant’s interactions. Laker fans remember last time out when Howard elbowed Bryant in the face and Bryant responded by calling him “soft” multiple times.
Lakers head coach Byron Scott summed it up best:
“They don’t like each other, simple as that.”
With the Lakers on a one game winning streak, they hope to build off their win in Atlanta.
