The Los Angeles Lakers have struggled on the offensive end through the first four games of their seeding schedule, with last night’s loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder, featuring a season-low 86 point outing. It’s their second outing in four games in which they’ve failed to score 100 points and while it’s not any cause for alarm given the fact they’ve already clinched the No. 1 seed in the West, coach Frank Vogel would likely hope to see some better offensive play from his squad.
Tonight they will face off against a team with plenty of firepower in the Houston Rockets, featuring James Harden and Russell Westbrook. The Rockets are coming off their first loss of the bubble, a 110-102 games against the Portland Trail Blazers. Houston is currently in 6th place in the West, tied with Oklahoma City.
