  Lakers rip Rockets 119-108 for 4th win in 5 games
 
 LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Kobe Bryant had 22 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for
his 18th career triple-double, and the revitalized Los Angeles Lakers ran past
the Houston Rockets 119-108 Sunday night for their fourth victory in five games
since firing coach Mike Brown.
 
 Dwight Howard had 28 points and 13 rebounds, and Pau Gasol scored his 15,0th
career point among his 17 as the Lakers returned to .500 by running away from
their second straight opponent since coach Mike D’Antoni took over their
practices.
 
 D’Antoni watched his second straight game from the Lakers’ locker room while
interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff ran the bench. D’Antoni decided earlier Sunday
to delay his debut, giving him a few more days to recover from recent knee
replacement surgery.
 
 Chandler Parsons scored 24 points and James Harden had 20 for the Rockets, who
have lost six of eight.TIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION
