LeBron James backstops Anthony Davis with a triple-double as they steer the Lakers to their third straight win.
Anthony Davis recorded his third 40-point game of the season, LeBron James posted his second triple-double, and Rui Hachimura scored 20 points off the bench as the Los Angeles Lakers rolled to a 134-109 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday, April 2 , their sixth in seven games.
Davis finished 15-of-20 from the floor and 10-of-12 from the free throw line. He also snagged 9 rebounds. With the Rockets providing little resistance defensively, the Lakers shot 55.9% despite missing 21 of 30 three-pointers and losing guard D’Angelo Russell to left foot soreness at halftime. The Lakers assisted on 10 of their 15 first-quarter field goals, scored 24 points in the paint and 6 in transition while racing to a 35-21 lead by the end of the opening period. Davis had 13 points in the frame and added 14 more in the second quarter, although the Rockets proved up to the challenge with their 39-point second.
