Lakers, Rockets shaking off recent losses

The Los Angeles Lakers' record against teams with losing marks this season before Wednesday was both noteworthy and improbable. In falling 119-118 to the Orlando Magic, who entered Staples Center two games under .500, the Lakers dropped to 22-1 against sub-.500 teams. When the Lakers visit the Houston Rockets on Saturday at Toyota Center, odds are good L.A.'s roster will not be whole.
