Houston Rockets players publicly criticized the Los Angeles Lakers on Apr. 28, declaring that Houston’s youth sets it apart and insisting the Rockets are “obviously the better team.”
Speaking with reporters, several members of the Rockets roster highlighted the age gap between the two franchises. One player stated, “We’re younger,” while another followed with, “We’re obviously the better team.”
The comments mark the latest verbal shot in the long-running rivalry between the two clubs, which have faced each other repeatedly in recent seasons. No response from the Lakers was reported at the time of the remarks.
