LOS ANGELES - It was a disappointing season opener to say the least for the Los Angeles Lakers as they were defeated by the Houston Rockets 106-82. Kobe Bryant led all scorers with 26 points, but did so on just 11-32 shooting and 4-13 from three. Off the bench Nick Young contributed 13 points and Ronnie Price added 11 points and 6 assists.

For the Rockets, James Harden led the way with 24 points, but it was Dwight Howard who killed the Lakers all night. Howard finished with 16 points and 18 rebounds.

This game leaves Lakers fans wanting changes already. After being out-rebounded by 17, they are calling for more front-court help. More shooting is also being asked for, although coach Byron Scott may choose to start Nick Young in an attempt to fix this problem.
