As the third quarter wound down in the Lakers’ game against the Houston Rockets, the video board at Staples Center fixed on a guest sitting two seats away from team co-owner Jeanie Buss. AdvertisementOn the court, Collison’s college teammate Russell Westbrook scored 41 points to help lead the Rockets to a 121-111 win over the Lakers, who fell to 38-12 while the Rockets improved to 33-18. The Lakers didn’t have many assets to offer other than players, having traded away so many draft picks to acquire Davis. The Rockets traded away center Clint Capela, and then traded Jordan Bell, who might have filled in at the position. While the Rockets were outscored in the paint by 22 points, they made 19 three-pointers, 10 more than the Lakers.
