The Los Angeles Lakers won their third straight game on Wednesday night as they survived a late game effort against the Houston Rockets, 124-122.
On the night where their 2020 NBA Championship banner was raised in the rafters in front of Laker fans in Staples Center, the Lakers were once again without LeBron James, who missed his sixth game in a row. Anthony Davis also missed the game due to soreness in his groin.
The Lakers found themselves in an all-out battle against the misfit Rockets down to the final buzzer. Kyle Kuzma hit a layup with 6.9 seconds remaining in the fourth to clinch the game for Los Angeles. Wesley Matthews stole the ball from Rockets’ Kelly Olynk with 0.9 seconds remaining on the final possession.
