LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and the Los Angeles Lakers were able to come away with a much-needed victory against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night, 132-123.
LeBron finished the night with 32 points and a triple-double, while Carmelo was able to add 24 points off the bench and was 9-15 from the field.
During the fourth quarter, LeBron James went up for a layup and missed badly but it almost looked like a potential alley-oop opportunity for Carmelo Anthony. The Lakers announcers were definitely a bit caught off guard as they didn't really understand what was going on and if LeBron was trying to get a pass to his Lakers teammates or just had a failed layup attempt.
Carmelo took to Twitter to express what happened during the Lakers game in a hilarious way.
You were throwing that off the glass for me @KingJames? I appreciate the confidence! pic.twitter.com/wk4gciSusj

It is great to see the Lakers having some fun together on social media as they desperately need some chemistry between the team. They are not playing basketball the way that many expect them to so getting some chemistry is needed. They are still under .500 on the season and have had the easiest schedule in all of basketball throughout the first two and a half months. There's clearly a bunch of talent on that roster and they are eventually going to figure it out just because of all the talent that they do have.
Although it was just a win against the Rockets, it's a nice win for this Lakers team. They are going to look to win two in a row as they face off against the Memphis Grizzlies in a back-to-back on Wednesday night.
