Meanwhile, we are seeing the Rockets now giving some good competition with the Lakers, it seems like they don't have any problem without Capela.
I think they will be having a hard time when it comes to good defender teams.
Lakers took advantage of not having a big man and they focussed on AD which scored 32 with 13 rebounds though that is not enough since Rockets have a lot of players shooting on three. They got 19 threes, which is half of the scores they accumulated while Lakers got only 9. I forgot that they have those shooters so every game of Rockets will usually be a three-point shootout being lead by Westbrook, James and Gordon.
I don't think Lakers took advantage on the undersized Rockets, the stats say so...
Lakers go total rebounds of 38, while the Rockets got 37, they only got taken advantage by 1 rebound and rockets is still good then.
This game, Rockets were just efficient and it seems like they were successful letting Westbrook shoot the ball more.
