Reborn as Kobe

The game against the Rockets was very interesting. Both sides were trying their best to play fast, so there were many mistakes throughout the game. Because Tracy and Big Ben are gone, the Rockets seem to have weakened, but they are not. Because Duncan does not occupy the ball, this allows Nash to give full play to his tactical role, and because of Duncan's defensive gift, Tom Thibodeau has built a more complete Rockets defense system with Duncan as the core.

In this game, the Lakers were still better, beating the Rockets 136 to 132. The reason the Rockets lost is simple, they lost on experience.
