[1/63] Nov 8, 2023; Houston, Texas, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) looks over video with assistant coach Phil Handy before playing against the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center. Sengun matched Green in efficiency, going 8 of 10 from the floor while, like Green, adding seven rebounds. The Rockets ran away and hid from the Lakers early, amassing 20 points in the paint in the opening period. The ease with which Houston scored was enhanced by superior ball security -- the Rockets committed only two turnovers in the first quarter -- and sticky defense. Rockets reserve Tari Eason paired nine points with nine rebounds in his season debut.
