LeBron James shows the Rockets his dominant side in Lakers' rout

“We just want to put ourselves in position to be able to compete for a championship,” James said. “But it’s a journey and obviously we don’t have as much chemistry as a lot of other teams trying to compete for a championship or that have aspirations to win a championship, but I like what we’ve been building over the last month or so.”

“He had a triple-double tonight and it was like effortless,” Ham said. “Not forcing anything. Not having to play him a crazy ton of minutes, it’s a testament to how deep we are now, and different guys being able to step up.” “It’s a much more fun brand of basketball to play when the ball is hopping and moving. People making quick decisions, not dribbling two, three extra dribbles, or holding it for two, three, four extra seconds. You’re looking. You’re reading what the defense is trying to take away, what they’re willing to give you, and you make the right play,” Ham said. “And the next guy has to do the same thing. Make quick decisions, and make the right reads, and play with pace, and the ball gets spread around.

On Sunday, it was hard not to notice just how complete the Lakers looked — a contrast that was undoubtedly highlighted by the backdrop of the woeful Rockets. Still, like Reaves said, the Lakers look as if they might be a problem instead of being a team overrun by them.
