\"LosThe LA Lakers went down to the Houston Rockets 126-111<\/em><\/a> as their star player James Harden had a fantastic night that turned out to be the difference between the two tames. <\/p>\n

The Lakers who depend heavily on LeBron James could not find the momentum to close out the game in the fourth quarter and went down meekly.<\/p>\n

James Harden<\/a> stood head and shoulders above his team mates when it came to his performance against the Lakers and finished the night with 50 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The Lakers defense really had no answers on how to stop Harden from scoring and it took the wind out of their sales.<\/p>\n

They were depending on LeBron James as usual<\/a> to get them out of a hole but James looked a little cooked. Harden played 35 minutes and achieved those stats above whereas James spent a total of 36 minutes on the court and finished with 29 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.<\/strong> The comparison shows you just how much of an impact that Harden had on the game and the final outcome. Clint Capela, Chris Paul and Danuel House<\/strong> also played well which helped the Rockets overpower the Lakers. <\/p>\n
