Lakers Seek Game 6 Win Over Rockets

LeBron James poured in 25 points for the Lakers as they traveled to Houston for Game 6 of the first‑round series, looking to even the series after a 99‑93 loss. The Rockets, led by Jabari Smith Jr.’s 22 points, are fighting to stay alive without Kevin Durant.

With the series tied 3‑2, the Lakers are hoping to capitalize on their 8‑3 record in close games. Despite LeBron’s high output, the Lakers’ offense has slowed, and the Rockets have been shooting 47.9% from the field all season. Houston’s Alperen Sengun averages 20.4 points while Amen Thompson has stepped up with 19.7 points over the last ten games. The game, streamed on Amazon Prime, saw both teams battling hard in the first quarter, with the Rockets taking an early lead before the Lakers rallied. Injuries to key players added extra pressure on both sides as they vie for a spot in the next round. betsport24.es
