The Lakers are going to have to shoot better in the game here, but the Lakers are going to have some problems in the game as well. The Lakers played very flat in the last game and did not look that impressive at all. Look for the Lakers defense to play about the same level as the opening game, but the Lakers offense has to knock off the rust to help them in getting the wins and that will not happen in the game here as Harden leads the Rockets offense again. Final Score, Houston Rockets win 111-101.
