The Lakers somehow pulled off allerta per vento forte one of the craziest comebacks of the playoffs 😳🔥
Down 6 with under 30 seconds left, LA stormed back behind LeBron James and Marcus Smart to steal Game 3 in overtime and take a 3-0 series lead over the Rockets.
LeBron finished with 29 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, and the clutch game-tying three to save the Lakers late 😤 Marcus Smart was EVERYWHERE with 21 points, 10 assists, 5 steals, and huge overtime buckets. Rui Hachimura added 22 points and massive hustle plays in OT, while Luke Kennard chipped in 14 points and 6 assists.
Even Bronny got involved with 5 points in limited minutes 👀
For Houston, Alperen Sengun dominated with 33 points and 16 rebounds, while Amen Thompson added 26 points and 11 rebounds. Jabari Smith Jr. also caught fire from three with 24 points and 6 made threes… but the Rockets completely collapsed late after looking in control for most of the sf giants fourth quarter 😬
Even without rublev Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, the Lakers found a way again.
Can Houston recover if KD returns… or is this series already over? 👀
