Q4
HOU 114 LAL 120
How about we open up the post-Kobe era with a W? The young guns have made major strides tonight! What a rally in an offensive shootout. The Lakers trailed the majority of the game, but Jordan Clarkson got hot at the right time and was a key cog in that run. Defense was not great, but they did just enough to disrupt the Rockets' push to get the lead back. But, I'm happy for this team. I'm happy for Luke Walton. A great way to usher in the new Laker era. Stay tuned for the full recap.
Q3
HOU 96 LAL 90
I would say, there's some improvement defensively in the 3rd quarter, but there's still a lot of work to do. That was great on Luke's part to put MWP in to provide a spark defensively, but Harden is still killing it out there. As I said in the 1st half post, Nick Young and Jordan Clarkson have to step up. One of them is and Clarkson is answering the bell. Nick Young hit a three early, but he's still struggling. Luckily, the Lakers are down 6 points. They have to do more on both sides of the floor to rally and close this game out.
