Lakers Blasted by Rockets

James Harden single-handedly beat the Lakers, that's all there is to it. Tank mode continues for the Lakers and by the looks of it, it's going to continue. Carlos Boozer was the Lakers' leading performer off the bench with a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds on 9-13 shooting, but the Lakers had no answer of containing James Harden as the Rockets beat the Lakers 99-87 behind Harden's 37 point performance. Jeremy Lin returned to the lineup after questionably being DNP'd by Byron Scott on Friday's game vs. the Spurs, coming off the bench with 14 points. For the starters, Wayne Ellington racked up 13 points as he's going to fill in for Kobe Bryant for the rest of the season and Jordan Hill added 10 points.

Final Score: vs. Houston 99-87 [L]
