Going into his last season Kobe Bryant did not have his legs under him, not being as much as an threat we are accustom to seeing.

Until last night! The Los Angeles Lakers Legend had a great hop in his step all night as he led the Lakers with 22 points and had an amazing dunk over Houston Rockets center Clint N'Dumba-Capela.

Hoston Rockets - Not So Bad Harden

The Houston Rockets have overcame their 'bad' start to the season with a slim victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder Monday night at the Toyota Center.

James Harden led his team with 37 points, quieting the critics with his performance, shooting 12-of-26 from the field, including 4-of-12 from behind the arc, and 9-of-11 from the free throw line. Harden also contributed with five rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks in 38 minutes of action. 

Harden was assisted from his new fellow backcourt teammate Ty Lawson, who recently joined the Rockets this past offseason. Lawson Finished the game with his first double-double on the year, scoring 14 points and delivering 11 assists. 

Dwight Howard put the game away at the free throw line, after Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook missed their 3-point attempts during the fourth quarter with less than 44 seconds to go in the game. 

Durant and Westbrook continue to prove they are a dynamic duo, as Durant scored a team-high 29 points, while Westbrook barley missed a triple-double of 25 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds.

The Rockets will take on Victor Oladipo and the Orlando Magic Wednesday, Nov. 4 at home. The Magic have been playing exceptionally well this season, showing they are a force to be reckoned with, including a loss to the Thunder, but forcing double overtime.
