Your Los Angeles Lakers enjoyed an active Sunday, winning a critical blowout (okay, fine, every game is critical down the season's home stretch, but still) against the Houston Rockets and losing their starting point guard D'Angelo Russell to an injury, yet again. 

Beyond those highs and lows, here's more from the Lakers' bustling Sunday:

LA is now tied with three other Western Conference teams in the loss column with 38: the 41-38 Los Angeles Clippers (the West's fifth seed) and Golden State Warriors (the sixth seed), and the 40-38 Lakers (the seventh seed) and New Orleans Pelicans (the eighth seed). The Lakers have a legitimate chance at skipping the play-in tournament altogether.
