This is what Houston wanted to look like when they unloaded center Clint Capela and replaced him in the lineup with Robert Covington in mid-season.
I thought Covington was the difference in the Oklahoma City series ultimately. When Harden and Westbrook play like they did in this game against the Lakers they all the sudden look like a very dangerous team.
Great game by the Rockets. Kyle Kuzma -21 for the Lakers. Yikes. I would guess we see the Rockets isolate and attack Kuzma every time he sets a foot on the floor.
Only one game, but a very effective start for the Rockets.
