RocketsLakers take the game 4 win against the Rockets in the 2020 NBA Playoffs Semi-Finals
Recap
Another great game for the Lakers lead by Anthony Davis and supported well by LeBron James, Alex Caruso and Rajon Rondo
For the Rockets a strong performance from Russell Westbrook and Eric Gordon but unfortunately it wasn’t enough. James Harden had a difficult game he managed to put up 21 points but 16 were from the free throws, his 3 pt percentage was just over 16% and his overall percentage was just over 18%. Harden worked hard but he just wasn’t efficient enough to drive the team forward.
The big difference in this game was second-chance points caused by Lakers being very prominent on the offensive rebounds, Lakers had 11 more offensive rebounds that the Rockets and double the amount of overall rebounds.
The scoreline suggests this game was closer than it actually was.
