(Orlando, FL)  --  The Rockets took advantage of LeBron James' absence as they ripped the Lakers 113-97 at the NBA bubble in Orlando.  James Harden ran up 39 points and 12 assists for Houston, which took control late in the first quarter and never looked back.  Russell Westbrook sat out due to a thigh contusion, while LeBron was dealing with a sore groin for the Lakers and also didn't play.  Anthony Davis tallied 17 points and 12 rebounds while Kyle Kuzma scored a team-high 21 points.  L.A. has already sewn up the top seed in Western Conference playoffs and will meet the Pacers tomorrow.
