Houston rockets humiliating defeat at the hands of The Los Angeles Lakers by 110-100 in game 4 now puts them in a do or die situation in game 5. The absence of Danuel House weakened the offense side of Rockets and their defensive strategy was outplayed by Lakers.
Only two players outshined throughout the game James Harden and Russel Westbrook who contributed almost 50% of the points from both 3-point range and free throw line. Following them, Eric Gordon contributed measly 19 points. The most surprising of them all Robert Covington contributed 3 points in 23 minutes and P.J Tucker scored zero. All in all, it was the most embarrassing game for Rockets with half-hearted efforts. Rockets need to come back from a 3-1 loss to stay in the NBA playoffs.
