LeBron James had 29 points and 11 rebounds in a 119-96 win over the Rockets to lead the Lakers into the Western Conference finals for the first time in 10 years.
Houston coach Mike D’Antoni thought his team lacked the spirit necessary to compete with the Lakers in their Game 4 loss. If the Rockets had any left for Game 5, possibly their final game of the season, the Lakers made sure to extinguish it.At the start Saturday night, there appeared to be little the Rockets could do well. They allowed a three-pointer by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope immediately, and scored to counter.
That rally continued into the second quarter and became a 17-2 run that allowed the Rockets to get within seven of the Lakers. Even though Anthony Davis had barely made an impact, the Lakers led by 11 heading into the break.Highlights from the Lakers’ 119-96 victory over the Rockets in Game 5 of their playoff series on Saturday, Sept. 12, 2020, in Orlando, Fla.
After halftime it quickly became clear that the Rockets were outmatched. The Lakers led by as many as 30 points while the Rockets were taunted by Rajon Rondo’s brother in the stands.
