Lakers vs Rockets: Three things to know

Lakers vs Rockets on Wednesday night was a chance for Los Angeles to redeem itself.

After fighting an onslaught of injuries to their starting lineup recently, the Lakers needed a sense of revival. The first half in Houston didn’t go that way, but halftime gave them a bit of a breather.
