LeBron moves to victory against the Rockets in Q4

Russell Westbrook, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. He scored 27 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and made 7/8 free throws. However, he had some point-like deviations near the edge in the second half, and he overtook all four of the three, which lowered his grade.

Avery Bradley had good defending moments just like in the last game, but his offensive production left much to be desired. He ended the game by shooting 1/6 and 0/3 deep in the overall situation. However, he got some nice pennies in the first quarter for James and Anthony Davis, which helped his grade.

Kent Bazemore made questionable mistakes all night, and he was one foul away from the mistake, but he managed to get the game to an end in the final seconds. He scored seven points, four rebounds, two assists and a pass. One of his 3-pointers was a balloon, but he got a running left-hand rank on the screen late in the game, compensating for that.

He would have had nine points, but the referees decided to take two of his points off the board because the referees accidentally gave him free throws instead of an input pass. It was a weird moment, but it didn’t pay off for LA in the end

LeBron James scored 30 points and 10 assists in 36 minutes, and his fourth-quarter takeover was the difference here. He shot 11/14 at one point in the fourth quarter, but it dropped to 13/21 when he was at times a little too aggressive. Still, the Lakers won’t win this without his efforts in the last 12 minutes.

The Lakers immediately got Davis out of the gate because the big man had more than 11 points in the opening quarter. His dominance continued throughout the night, albeit with fears of injury. Davis scored 27 points out of 11/18 by firing, nine rebounds, three passes, three blocks and two depressions. His defense faltered at the end as he made aggressive decisions and got Green’s cross.

It was no surprise that Davis dominated the game as he acted on the finish line compared to taking three points. He missed all three attempts.

Carmelo Anthony did his job again. He finished 15 points in a 6/9 shooting (3/5 deep) in 29 minutes. That’s all the Lakers need from him, and he had nice moments helping the defense by digging into certain points.

Austin Reaves had no offensive effect, but he played several defenses. One contained a block from behind that led to the dunk during the transition, and the other cut off the feed when the Lakers got caught in a defensive position that got the ball back with purple and gold.

DeAndre Jordan got up from the bench again and scored eight points with a 4/5 shot and grabbed nine rebounds in 16 minutes. His approach to ball defense defended his rating.

Malik Monk is in funk. He’s only scored one point in the last three games, and his free throws could have paid LA in the final seconds. He made 1-2 to try to quit the game, but he will have to find his career again soon before he possibly loses his place in the round when Kendrick Nunn, Talen Horton-Tucker and Wayne Ellington return.
