The Lakers outlasted the Rockets 112-108 on Friday night to take a 3-0 series lead in their Western Conference playoff matchup, with LeBron James posting 29 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists alongside big games from Marcus Smart and Rui Hachimura in a fourth-quarter rally that forced overtime. DeAndre Ayton struggled with just two points and six rebounds in 33 minutes, drawing sharp fan criticism for low effort and prompting calls to start backup Jaxson Hayes, who scored 12 points in crunch time.
