Defense-challenged Rockets hope to snap 11-game slide vs. Hornets
The silver linings are becoming increasingly difficult for the Houston Rockets to locate amid their avalanche of losses, with the latest coming on the road against the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday.
The Rockets' 140-132 setback extended their losing streak to 11 games. Houston has dropped 16 of 17games since opening a seven-game homestand in mid-December with back-to-back wins over the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns.
