The Lakers lead 3-1 in the Western Conference semifinal series with up to four wins.
In this game, it was not LeBron James but Anthony Davis who was the brightest guy on the floor.
The midfielder scored 29 points and bounced 12 balls. James was very short of a triple-double: 16 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists.
The Rockets never took the lead in this game, and the main reason for the Texas team’s loss was a crushing fight lost under the baskets: 26:52.
The Lakers’ lead in this game was not in question. Midway through the fourth quarter, the Los Angeles club scored a record 23 points and all questions were answered.
Russell Westbrook scored 25 points for the Rockets, James Harden added 21, Eric Gordon 19 and Austin Rivers added 14.
The fifth, and perhaps decisive, game of the series in Orlando will take place on Saturday.
“Rockets”: Russell Westbrook 25, James Harden 21, Eric Gordon 19, Austin Rivers 14.
“Lakers”: Anthony Davis 29 (12th ed., 5th ed., 5th ed.), LeBron James (15th ed., 9th ed.) And Alex Caruso after 16, District Rondo 11 (10th ed., 8th ed.), Danny Green and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope after 10.
