The Houston Rockets sent a message to the entire league that their small ball can work as they defeated the Lakers in Los Angeles (121-111).

Post game, James Harden talked about the new small ball, saying that it’s not all about height. The Rockets may be smaller, after trading Clint Capela, but they had big heart, which enables them to compete with anybody, according to Harden.

Harden was limited to just 14 points offensively, but this didn’t prevent the Rockets from taking down the Western Conference leaders.
