Lakers highlights: LeBron James scores 32 points in win vs. Rockets

The Los Angeles Lakers are 17-18 after defeating the Houston Rockets Tuesday.

Prior to this win, the Lakers struggled during a five-game losing streak, despite LeBron James’ heroics every game.

This time, however, James received help from three other Lakers while he scored 32 points to lead all scorers.

James shot 11-of-19 overall, 3-of-5 from deep and 7-of-9 from the free-throw line to go with 11 rebounds and 11 assists, making it a strong and efficient triple-double for The King.

Malik Monk scored 25 points while Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony each chipped in 24 points. That meant LeBron’s role wasn’t too heavy on offense, which helped because he played center the whole game.
