The Lakers rang in the post-Kobe Bryant era with a 120-114 win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.
In front of a capacity crowd at the Staples Center, Jordan Clarkson led the Lakers with 25 points in 24 minutes off the bench.
It wasn’t enough, as the Lakers inched past the Rockets for the shootout win.
The Rockets sprinted up and down the court all night, and the Lakers seemed to be comfortable playing on the run.
The Rockets are now led by former Lakers head coach Mike D’Antoni, so it was not surprising that they played at a breakneck pace.
The game stayed on a see-saw from t, as the Lakers built a small lead only to see the Rockets knot the score once again.
