LOS ANGELES — The Rockets gave the Lakers everything they had, everything that seemed beyond their capabilities on the road trip and through much of the losing streak.They pushed the Lakers to the final minute, closing to within two with 1:11 left.
Rockets, who had been down as much as 16, the deficit of their comeback wins against the Suns and Hawks, put together a 17-7 run to within three with less than four minutes remaining. Smith went to the line, making one of two free throws to move the Rockets back within four. But Juan Toscano-Anderson scored on a break as the Rockets stopped for Sengun to tie his shoe.
The Rockets still could not stop James. He banked in a 14-footer. Gordon missed everything on a drive. Sengun fouled James on the rebound, sending James to the line with the Lakers holding a four-point lead with 39.5 seconds remaining.With that, James sealed the win, as he always seemed certain to get around to eventually.James saw Smith stationed in front of him at the top of the key and was determined to welcome the rookie to the NBA.
