There was no one taller than 6-foot-6 on the Houston’s lineup, so James Harden the guard had to jump for ball, he lost because he had to go up a 6-foot-7 player. The recap is that the Lakers came up short making the score 121-111. Westbrook scored 41 points, and Covington hit two clutch 3-pointers, getting 8 rebounds and 14 points. James Harden only had 14 points and Westbrook had to pick up his slack. On the other side AD had 32 points and 13 rebounds, while LeBron had 18 points, 15 assists and 9 rebounds. Even though AD, Dwight and McGee had an easy time down low in the paint the Rockets small lineup created fast movement, great spacing and great movement. The Lakers had plenty of baskets down low but the Rockets went 15 for 29 on 3-pointers in the first 3 quarters. Covington came up with a block on AD shot with only 3:30 to play when Houston took the lead, he hit a corner 3 with 2:42 left and the end result was 121-111 win for the Houston Rockets.
