The undermanned Houston Rockets (25-22) defended their home court and took down the Lakers (28-18) by a score of 107-104.

The Rockets had lost two straight and won just three of their last 10 coming into this game. The Lakers had a late lead tonight and let it slip away for the disheartening loss.
