What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Ben Sullivan challenges a foul called on Sengun with 3:05 left, allowing Lakers fans to beat the traffic. Lakers up 106-88. – 12:49 AM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
#Lakers have held up impressively given their reliance on LeBron, limited 3PT shooting & odd roster construction. LA +19.2 w/ LeBron on compared to off. Tough & 13th in defense, but 23rd in offense. They also turn it over & don’t OREB. Yet on the way to 12-9. Weird. – 12:48 AM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
D’Angelo Russell has been deflecting all kinds of passes this season, and he has 5 steals tonight (7 is his career high), the latest of which he paid off with his 7th assist, for another Davis dunk.
LAL up 103-85 with 4:29 to play. – 12:46 AM
Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane
Alperen Sengun’s 24 field goal attempts are a career-high. He’s made eight and attempted just two free throws – 12:45 AM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LAL lead 99-82 with 5:55 to play after a Davis dunk got him up to 24 points with 14 boards and 5 blocks. – 12:42 AM
Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane
10 points on 4-of-14 shooting with six turnovers, two assists, and two free throw attempts for Jalen Green tonight – 12:39 AM
Brad Turner @BA_Turner
LeBron James and Rockets coach Ima Udoka exchanged words and were both hit with technical fouls. Udoka was ejected from the game because it was his second T. – 12:37 AM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
Not surprised Ime Udoka got tossed. He’s been talking A LOT during this game. At different Lakers. At the ref. At anyone. Dunno if that’s typical for him, but you could see the ejection coming. AK – 12:36 AM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
Ime Udoka was just tossed from the game for picking up his second technical foul of the game. This one came after him and LeBron James were jawing at each other and both got T’d up – Udoka’s second and James’ first – 12:35 AM
Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane
Fifth technical foul of the season for Ime Udoka and his first ejection as Rockets head coach – 12:35 AM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
Rockets coach Ime Udoka was just been ejected after getting his second technical foul.
He and LeBron James both received technical fouls after what seemed to be a verbal back and forth between the two in front of Houston’s bench. – 12:35 AM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Ime Udoka and LeBron James get technical fouls, Udoka’s second. Cam Reddish had gotten a T and Eason was furious. Words were exchanged. – 12:35 AM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Lakers fans are chanting “Houston sucks!” – 12:34 AM
Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
After Cam Reddish was T’d up, LeBron James and Ime Udoka both get technicals. Udoka ejected after already getting T’d up earlier. – 12:34 AM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
Heard behind me after Cam Reddish gets hit with a technical: “He’s a minimum wage player, ref! Give him a break!!!” AK – 12:33 AM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Another Lakers rebound of a missed free throw leading to another bucket with a chance of another four-point possession. Udoka time out 21 seconds into the quarter to immediately point out that missing free throws is not supposed to be an offensive strategy. – 12:25 AM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
Austin Reaves should get his face insured for seven figures like J.Lo reportedly does for her butt. Dude spends every game just getting smacked in the kisser. AK – 12:23 AM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
Max Christie beats the 3rd Q buzzer with a 3 to put LAL up 86-72. Max is 3-for-3 from 3. Apparently that stint in the starting lineup carried over in his confidence. First home game after a long road trip can be tricky. The Lakers are treating it like pros so far. – 12:22 AM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Thunder improve to 13-6.
#2 spot in the West.
Next up: Chet vs Sengun in Houston on Wednesday. – 12:22 AM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Third quarter: Lakers 86, Rockets 72
Max Christie’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer gives LA some juice after Houston had methodically trimmed the lead. AD has 20 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks. Austin Reaves has 18 points. LeBron has 14 points. Christie has 11 points (three 3s). – 12:21 AM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Rockets were within 10 before Austin Reeves was fouled. He made one of two free throws, got the rebound of his own miss, and set up Christie for a 3 at the third-quarter buzzer. Lakers 86, Rockets 72. A terrible 7 1/2 seconds. – 12:21 AM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
End of 3Q: Max Christie with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer, giving the Lakers an 86-72 lead going into the 4Q. – 12:20 AM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
There’s a group of fans chanting “We want Rui!” by the Lakers’ bench. – 12:08 AM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
The Lakers’ challenge is unsuccessful. Foul on Jarred Vanderbilt. Lakers lose a timeout. – 12:07 AM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Lakers challenging a foul on Vanderbilt. J.T. Orr made an unbelievably late call, but I think it will stand. Really looked like one of those that the official waits to see if the shot goes in. Would send Smith to the line. Lakers up 15, 4:59 left in the third. – 12:05 AM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
That was the most points (15) Austin Reaves has ever had in a quarter, per the Lakers. – 11:41 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
Halftime: Lakers 60, Rockets 44.
Lakers closed out the 2Q on a 24-6 run over the final 6:45. Anthony Davis: 16 points, seven rebounds. LeBron James: 14 points, three rebounds, three assists. Austin Reaves: 15 points on 5-9 shooting. – 11:39 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
All of Austin’s points came in the 2Q – the most he’s had in a quarter in his career.
Lakers shot 65% from the field (13-20) in the 2Q, compared to Houston’s 27.% (5-18). – 11:39 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Austin Reaves:
1st Q: 0 for 3, 0 points, 0 boards
2nd Q: 4 for 6 FG’s, 4 of 4 FT’s, 15 points, 2 boards, 1 steal
The 15 points were his most in one quarter in his career. – 11:39 PM
Allen Sliwa @AllenSliwa
Really nice 1st half for the LakeShow, 60-44…AD 16pts, Reaves 15pts and Lebron 14pts…Great to see all the Lakers role players back – 11:38 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Halftime: Lakers 60, Rockets 44
LA trailed 38-34 at the 7:06 mark of the second quarter. From that point on, they outscored the Rockets 26-6. Austin Reaves has 15 points (5-9 FGs, 4-4 FTs). He’s playing like himself. LeBron has 16 points and 7 rebounds. AD has 14 points. – 11:38 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
After a shaky start, trailing by as many as 9 early, the Lakers are starting to look like a team with a 7-2 home record hosting a Houston team with an 0-7 road record. LAL up 60-44 at the break. AD shook off an 0-for-6 shooting start to log 16p 7r 3b; AR 15p; LeBron 14p. – 11:37 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Lakers 60, Rockets 44 at half. Rockets scored six points in the final seven minutes of the half, all by Fred VanVleet. James and Davis combine for 30. – 11:37 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LAL held Houston to 14 points in the 2nd Q, and scored 35 to turn a 9-point deficit in the 1st Q into a 60-44 halftime lead.
Austin Reaves started 0 for 4 from the field, but finished 5 for 5 towards 15 points, one shy of Anthony Davis’ 16. LeBron added 14-3-3. – 11:37 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Rockets really are the new Grizzlies, right down to their extreme home/road performances – 11:37 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
LeBron James just converted a 360 layup in traffic. His teammates are holding their hands on their heads in disbelief. Half of the Crypto.com Arena crowd just got up to give LeBron a stranding ovation after the replay showed on the video board. – 11:35 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
The Lakers are on a 26-6 run right now. – 11:34 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
LeBron James with a 360 you will see forever. Lakers technical for Christian Wood’s celebration. Place went appropriately nuts. – 11:34 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
That layup by LeBron was insane. – 11:34 PM
Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
LeBron James knocked Father Time down to the ground once again. What a crazy reverse layup – 11:34 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
What an incredible reverse layup from @KingJames. You’ll see the highlight promptly. – 11:33 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LAL’s defense has been suffocating in the 2nd Q, with the run pushing out to 25-2, opening a 54-38 lead.
Rockets are just 4 for 15 in the 2nd Q, with 10 points and only 2:18 left in the period. – 11:32 PM
Adam Wexler @AdamJWexler
#Rockets Brooks earlier, now Udoka have been hit with technical fouls tonight. Season tech tally: Brooks 3, Tate 2, Sengun 1, Van Vleet 1; Udoka 4 (tied for most among coaches) – 11:32 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Ime Udoka hit with a technical foul. Rockets have gotten a tough whistle in this Lakers run, though the Brooks foul that wasn’t probably was on Sengun. Smith seemed to get his block clean. – 11:31 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
Something to keep an eye on as LeBron checks out. On the sequence that led to AD at the line, LeBron also took some contact, and got up favoring his right elbow. Kept shaking it out during the dead ball. AK – 11:30 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Dillon Brooks picks up his third foul. He’ll sit with 3:25 left in the half. Lakers on a 14-0 run to lead by 10. – 11:28 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LAL are on a 19-2 run right now, and lead 48-38 with 3:20 left in the half. – 11:28 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
Lakers on an 11-0 run and leading 47-38 late in the 2Q. Rockets haven’t scored in over 3 1/2 minutes of gametime. – 11:28 PM
Allen Sliwa @AllenSliwa
22-8 Lakers here in the 2nd qtr…Defense has been great – 11:27 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
Reaves’ second straight transition dunk gives the Lakers a five point lead (43-38) and prompts a Houston timeout. On the second bucket, big play by Max Christie under the Lakers basket, ripping away an offensive rebound from the Rockets, which helped trigger the second break. AK – 11:24 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Lakers on a 14-2 run in 3:05, take their largest lead, 43-38. Austin Reeves was 0 for 3 in the first quarter, 3 of 4 for 10 points since, with seven points in the run to the lead. – 11:24 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves started a combined 0 for 9 tonight, but since, they’re a combined 7 for 7, helping the Lakers push out to a 43-38 lead with 4:52 left in the 2nd Q.
They each have 10 points, as does LeBron. – 11:24 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
A few trips to the FT line. A dunk in transition. A scooping reverse layup in transition. This is the Austin Reaves from last season. – 11:23 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing
Rockets announcers lose their minds after a one legged LeBron fadeaway and say he did “the Sengun.” I cannot sigh powerfully enough. – 11:16 PM
David Hardisty @clutchfans
Wow… Jabari Smith Jr. straight strips the ball from LeBron James and then gets the dunk on the other end. pic.twitter.com/JREflXVFQh11:15 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Dillon Brooks picks up a technical foul. Lakers fans seem pleased. – 11:15 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
With Vando back, it looks like Jaxson Hayes is the rotation casualty. Which makes sense. The minutes with him and Wood weren’t working great, and he wasn’t playing enough to get in a steady rhythm. (Once Rui is truly back, wouldn’t shock me if Wood’s PT drops, too.) AK – 11:13 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Interesting, though, that Eason stays on James. Brooks on Reddish, then switches to Reeves. – 11:10 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
With LeBron James back in and Dillon Brooks out, Tari Eason picks up James. – 11:08 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Big size difference for LAL to start the 2nd Q, with Reaves-Reddish-Vanderbilt-LeBron-Wood going against a Houston 2nd unit that plays Jeff Green at center. – 11:08 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
End of 1Q: Rockets 30, Lakers 25.
Anthony Davis: 8 points (3-9) and 4 rebounds. Made his last three shots after missing first 6. LeBron James: 6 points. Alperen Şengün: 9 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists.
Lakers shooting 39.1% from the field. Rockets 59.1% shooting. – 11:07 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Rockets 30, Laker 25 after 1. Şengün with 9p, 5r, 4a. Green with 8. Rockets shoot 59.1 %, Lakers 39.1 %. Rockets ought to be up by more than five. – 11:06 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
After rallying from a 9-point deficit to tie the game 23, LAL allowed a 7-2 Houston run to close the 1st Q, and trail 30-25.
Lakers shot just 9 for 23 (39.1%), with Houston converting 13 of 22 (59.1%) FG’s. – 11:06 PM
Kelly Iko @KellyIko
The chess match begins when Udoka has to get Sengun rest and go small vs. Lakers size. He’s played the entire first quarter. – 11:06 PM
Brad Turner @BA_Turner
Lakers trail Rockets 30-35 end of first. AD 8 points, but just 3-for-9 from the field. Rockets shooting 59.1% from field, 42.9% from 3 against Lakers defense. – 11:06 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Lakers are using a giant end-of-quarter lineup: Austin Reaves, Max Christie, Jarred Vanderbilt, Christian Wood and Anthony Davis. – 11:01 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
Jarred Vanderbilt is officially on the court this season for the Lakers. AK pic.twitter.com/BsJo2ACaVb11:01 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Jarred Vanderbilt to make his season debut after the time out. – 10:58 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LAL battled back from an early 9-point deficit to get within 2 at 23-21, with Jarred Vanderbilt set to lodge his first minutes since the Oct. 7 preseason opener out of the time out. – 10:58 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
Jarred Vanderbilt is at the scorer’s table, alongside Christian Wood, set to check in and make his season debut. – 10:57 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
AD finally gets on the board after a really nice probe into the lane by D’Lo, followed by a slick dish for a dunk. You have to wonder if that hit to the face is affecting Davis. He just seems a bit off with all his timing. AK – 10:56 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Anthony Davis’ first basket is a dunk off of a dump-off pass from DLo. He had missed his first six shots. – 10:55 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Anthony Davis made 11 of 15 shots a couple weeks ago against the Rockets. Just got his first bucket in seven attempts. – 10:55 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
With Cam Reddish on Fred VanVleet, Russell picks up Dillon Brooks. Rockets go into him in the lane. James will be on him quite a bit after missed shots, but Rockets ought to give Brooks touches inside. – 10:48 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
Lakers called an early timeout after Anthony Davis went down on one knee, still reeling from getting elbowed in the face/nose by Jalen Green in the game’s opening 30 seconds, but Davis is back on the floor after the timeout. – 10:47 PM
Brad Turner @BA_Turner
Several seconds after AD was hit in face by Jalen Green, Lakers called a timeout for him to be looked at. He’s back in game – 10:46 PM
Kelly Iko @KellyIko
Don’t know how many times Sengun walls up a player of AD’s caliber as a rookie or even last season. Really improved in that area of rim protection. – 10:46 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Anthony Davis took an unintentional Jalen Green elbow straight to the face early in this 1st Q, and after running up and down a few possessions, took another shot inside from Jabari Smith Jr.; Davis is back on the court after a time out at the 10:28 mark. – 10:46 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
We go to timeout with Anthony Davis still smarting from that Jalen Green whack to the face. Davis is holding the bridge of his nose and is being attended to on the bench by his athletic trainer, Jon Ishop – 10:44 PM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Anthony Davis shaken up. Lakers have to call time out. He was hit in the mouth by Jalen Green on the Rockets first possession but don’t know if that’s it. – 10:44 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
AD is down at midcourt. Being checked out by the Lakers’ medical staff. – 10:44 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
Update from the Crypt: Dillon Brooks remains quite unpopular in Los Angeles. AK – 10:37 PM

Brad Turner @BA_Turner
Vando is available and Rui is a “touch and feel thing,” per Lakers coach Darvin Ham – 8:50 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
Darvin Ham says Jarred Vanderbilt is available tonight. Rui Hachimura is available but “it’s more of a touch-and-feel thing with Rui.” Sounds like Hachimura’s minutes tonight will be determined before the game, if not during it. – 8:50 PM
