After a short absence following a knee injury, LeBron James was on the Houston floor this Wednesday evening to try to come away with the victory. It’s a failure for the King, and the Lakers at the same time. A real humiliation to lose in this way, which undoubtedly seals this end of season.
Following a new loss once morest the Spurs, the Lakers faced the Rockets this Wednesday evening, one of the worst teams in the league. His record of 16 wins and 49 losses is there to prove it, so the opportunity was good to revive for Frank Vogel’s men. You understood from the title, that’s not at all what happened.
After an extension, with the Angelinos unable to dominate their subject, it was Houston who won with a score of 139-130. Russell Westbrook was very good with 30 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, at 11/21 shooting, just like DJ Augustin, who finished with 16 points at 6/9 shooting. But as often, it was the defense that failed.
Triple-double for LeBron, dominated by an opponent!
Good individual performances, but a defeat for the Pourpre et Or, who dive with a record of 28-37. LeBron James was there, however, with a triple-double on arrival: 23 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists, in addition to 4 blocks. However, like this action once morest Eric Gordon, all was not perfect.

Yes, the King is still looking for the ball following this great action from the winger. That roughly sums up this meeting, which still penalizes the Lakers for the rest of the season:
Even with LeBron James back, the Lakers are finding ways to lose as one of the worst teams in the league. A real humiliation for the men of Frank Vogel, far from being able to claim the ring. And barring a miracle, that won’t change on this campaign.
