ROCKETS 113 LAKERS 99...LAKE Show forgot to check the GAS Tank at the Break..."Fear the BEARD" #13 and DWIGHT of Three Stripes had a Full Tank in the TOYOTA...RED Nation's #1 Soap "As DWIGHT Turns" > LAKER Gang's #1 Soap "2014" on this night #CityOfAngels #CLUTCHcity

The Lakers on a back to back motel swing through the great State of Texas hit the Big Toyota Tundra the Toyota Center and was running in the 1st half well and good but didn't check the gas tank. Leading 57-52 at the break the Lakers gas Gauge is on "E" and here we go Team MDA stumbling and fumbling out the gate.

Behind a 33-15 third frame get down with James Harden leading the way for Red Nation with 38 points on a robust 14 of 23 from the field. "Dwight of Three Stripes" added 20 points, thirteen boards, and four thefts. Their new Partner in Crime Terrence Jones chipped in with 15 points and thirteen boards as he has risen to the occasion being a starter. The Rockets shot a woeful or shall I say Dwight (10-24 FT) from the line 28 for 50. The Hack-A-Dwight worked if they could have slowed down Harden.

The Lakers get three players with 20 plus points with Nick Young (25 pts), Jodie Meeks (21 pts), and Pau Gasol (21 pts 12 rebs) but struggled handling the Orange with 18 turnovers. The Lakers just do what the Lakers do in the 2013-14 season...can't sustain consistent play at either end.

The Lake Show falls to s dismal 14-22 and the Rockets move to 23-13...
