LeBron James and Anthony Davis led the way as the Lakers even the series at one game each. James scored 28 points with 11 rebounds and just mussing a triple-double with 9 assists. Davis led all players with 34 points and 10 rebounds. The star of this game was Rajon Rondo and the Lakers bench. In his second game back in the bubble, he gave the Lakers the boost they needed, scoring 10 points with a plus 28 for the game. Markieff Morris led the bench scoring with 16 points.
The difference in this game was the poor effort of Russell Westbrook. Only scoring 10 points, the Lakers needed to put the pressure on one of the two Houston stars and they were successful.
The crucial game three is slated for tomorrow night as the Rockets will play as the home team.
