What channel is LA Lakers vs Houston Rockets on tonight? Time, TV schedule & Live stream l NBA Season 2020-21
The LA Lakers renew their acquaintance with the Houston Rockets when they meet for the second time in three days on Tuesday night action in the NBA. The two teams battled it out last Sunday, with the Lakers routing the Rockets 120-102.
It was a one-sided affair for much of the night, with Anthony Davis anchoring the Lakers’ stingy defense.
The result was a season-worst 21 Rockets turnovers to go along with 13 steals and eight swats by the Lakers, en route to the 18-point winning margin. James Harden scored only 20 points for the Rockets, despite averaging 26 for the season.
If the Houston Rockets want to make up for the embarrassing loss at home, they will have to take care of the basketball and keep the LA Lakers from clogging the lane by converting their long-range shots.
