The Los Angeles Lakers picked up a win against the Houston Rockets Sunday, 95-85.
Los Angeles is now on a two-game win streak after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers Friday, but head coach Frank Vogel switched the lineup for this game.
Russell Westbrook, Avery Bradley, Kent Bazemore, LeBron James and Anthony Davis were the starters. Vogel credited Bradley for his energy that changed the Cavaliers’ game, and the spacing and defense noticeably improved in the opening half.
Carmelo Anthony had a hot first half when he drilled shot after shot, and the Lakers eventually led by 28 points at one point.
However, the Lakers let their foot off the gas again in the fourth and allowed Houston a glimpse of hope. However, L.A. extracted a 95-85 victory.
Here’s how the Lakers graded individually:
