LOS ANGELES, Calif.
Nike Roshe Two Flyknit Bleu . - After James Harden lit up the Los Angeles
Lakers for the first three quarters, he returned in the final minutes to keep
the Houston Rockets focused on their finish.Kobe Bryant used to do that job for
the Lakers, and they might find out Monday whether hell do it again this
year.Harden had 37 points and eight rebounds, and the Rockets rolled to a 99-87
victory without Dwight Howard on Sunday night, sending Los Angeles to its eighth
straight defeat.Harden hit four 3-pointers, and the NBAs leading scorer added
five assists in the Rockets third victory in four games. He thought he had
earned an early night off, but didnt mind returning to the court after Los
Angeles trimmed a 25-point lead to 11 in the final minutes.Its my job to be not
only a scorer, but a facilitator, said Harden, who scored at least 33 points in
his fourth straight game. Make sure everybody is happy, getting good shots. Weve
got to do a better job closing out games. Its definitely getting there. Were
more than capable of being the best defensive team in the league, but weve got
to focus on it every game.Josh Smith and Jason Terry had 11 points apiece as
Houston cruised to its fourth straight road victory over the Lakers even without
Howard, who sat out after injuring his right ankle two days ago.I thought in the
first half, we ran a lot more, Houston coach Kevin McHale said. I think our
focus kind of waned later on in the game.Carlos Boozer scored 18 points for the
Lakers, who are on their longest losing streak in nearly 10 years.The Lakers
werent terribly competitive until the fourth quarter of their latest game
without Bryant, who could be out for the season after tearing his right rotator
cuff last week.Los Angeles, which committed 21 turnovers and went 1 for 13 on
3-pointers, hadnt lost eight straight games since March 2005. The Lakers missed
the playoffs that season for the only time in Bryants career before last
year.The effort, that hasnt been an issue, coach Byron Scott said. The
turnovers, that has been an issue. When were turning the ball over at that high
of a rate, were not giving ourselves a chance.The Lakers could find out Monday
whether Bryant needs season-ending surgery. Scott hasnt given up optimism for an
eventual return by the third-leading scorer in NBA history.I think we all hold
out hope that it goes well, (and) they say he doesnt need surgery or anything
like that, Scott said. Maybe rehabilitation for a few weeks or a month or
whatever the case may be. But thats the positive part of me hoping that
happens.TIP-INSRockets: Joey Dorsey started in Howards place, scoring four
points. ... McHale is uncertain when Howard will return to the lineup. At least
his absence spared him the relentless booing hell likely face from Lakers fans
for the rest of his career after he spurned the club in free agency in 2013. ...
Harden is a Los Angeles native who attended Artesia High School.Lakers: Scott
showed up slightly late to Staples Center after forgetting that the Lakers
Sunday game time is an hour earlier than every other night. The 53-year-old
coach claimed he had a senior moment. ... Rookie big man Tarik Black, who was
waived by Houston last month, had three points and five rebounds for the Lakers.
He had missed the last two games with a sprained right ankle.SWAGGY SADNick
Young played just nine minutes for the Lakers and went scoreless, getting
benched for the entire second half. The entertaining shooting guard gave an
unsatisfactory answer to a halftime question about a defensive assignment from
Scott, who said Young looked to me like he didnt want to be here. Young hadnt
played in a game without scoring since he joined his hometown team before last
season. Young left Staples Center without speaking to reporters.POINT GUARD
POPRookie Jordan Clarkson had eight points on 2-for-10 shooting and five
turnovers in his second start for the Lakers, while Jeremy Lin had 14 points and
six assists off the bench after being a healthy scratch in Fridays loss at San
Antonio. Scott intends to keep his current starting lineup together for the next
15 games or so.UP NEXT:Rockets: Host Dallas on Wednesday.Lakers: Host Washington
on Tuesday.

Thursday by siding with ownership -- and not the players -- in the NFLs labour
dispute.ST. LOUIS - A company tied to St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke has
purchased a prime piece of land in the Los Angeles area amid speculation the NFL
franchise is considering a return to the city it left for the Midwest nearly two
decades ago. Team officials on Friday provided a written statement confirming
the recent purchase of a 60-acre site in Inglewood, Calif., adjacent to the
shuttered Hollywood Park racetrack. The Los Angeles Times first reported the
purchase. "As real estate developers, the Kroenke Organizations are involved in
numerous real estate deals across the country and North America," the statement
said. "While we can confirm media reports that we recently purchased land in
Inglewood, as a private company we dont typically discuss our plans for
commercial or residential investments. We have yet to decide what we are going
to do with the property but we will look at all options, as we do with all of
our properties." The property is three miles east of Los Angeles International
Airport runways and sprawls between the newly renovated Forum concert venue,
former home of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Hollywood Park, which closed Dec. 22
after 75 years of horse racing. The latter 260-acre site is slated for
development of 3,000 housing units, commercial space and parks. The land was
previously owned by Wal-Mart, which hoped to build a superstore there but could
not win local voter approval for the project. Kroenke is a former Wal-Mart board
member who is married to the daughter of company co-founder Bud Walton and
continues to build shopping centres for the retailer. Los Angeles has lacked an
NFL team since both the Rams and Raiders left in 1994. The Rams can break their
30-year lease in St. Louis after the 2014 season — a decade early — but have
said little about their plans. The Rams lease requires the Edward Jones Dome to
remain among the top quarter of the 32 NFL stadiums, based on various criteria.
The St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission, which manages the dome, last
year offered a $124 million improvement plan that included a bigger scoreboard
and better club seating, with the Rams paying slightly more half those costs.
The team countered with a far more ambitious proposal tthat called for a new
roof with a sliding panel and a bevy of improvements that would keep the city
convention centre in the dome closed for three years.

million in publicly funded upgrades sought by the team. Speaking in New York
before Sundays Super Bowl, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league was
informed of the Kroenke purchase and noted that any stadium development plan
would require approval from two-thirds of the NFLs 32 owners. "Were aware of
it," Goodell said. "There are no plans, to my knowledge, of a stadium
development. Anything that would require a stadium development would require
multiple votes of the membership." Goodell cautioned against "overreacting" to
the Kroenke land purchase, saying "we should make sure we do whats necessary to
continue to support the team locally, which the fans have done in St. Louis. And
make sure we can do whatever we can to make sure that team is successful in the
St. Louis market." Patriots owner Robert Kraft said he thinks "its unfortunate
that a generation of fans have grown up without" a team in Los Angeles. "We
definitely want a team in L.A. ... We need to make sure we have the right owner
and the right facility, and until at least 24 owners feel that, we wont have
it," Kraft said in New York. "Just personally, I would like to see a team in
L.A. as soon as possible." Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has taken over negotiations
with the Rams and Kroenke after arbitration between the team, the commission and
the stadium authority failed. James Shrewsbury, chairman of the St. Louis
Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority, which owns the downtown dome,
referred questions about the Los Angeles purchase to the governor. "Its hard to
comment on it since we dont know what his purpose is," Shrewsbury said,
referring to Kroenke, who could not be reached for comment. "He hasnt said what
he plans to do with it." The football St. Louis Cardinals moved to Arizona in
1987, and the city went nearly a decade without a franchise until the Los
Angeles Rams arrived in 1995. AP Sports Writer Howard Fendrich contributed to
this report from New York.
