LOS ANGELES – On April 30 (Beijing time), the Houston Rockets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 99-93 on the road, trimming the series deficit to 2-3.
Houston has pulled off two stunning comeback wins in a row, becoming only the fourth team in NBA history to stretch a best‑of‑seven series to a sixth game after falling behind 0-3. (There have been 159 previous 0-3 deficits.)
Despite star scorer Kevin Durant missing his fourth straight playoff game due to injury, the Rockets showed remarkable grit. Jabari Smith Jr. scored 22 points, and Tari Eason added 18. Houston led 87-74 with 5:55 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Lakers responded with an 11-1 run to cut the deficit to three points, but Reed Sheppard stole the ball from LeBron James and threw down a breakaway dunk to steady the Rockets.
LeBron James scored 17 of his 25 points in the second half and added 7 assists, but could not prevent his team from losing at home. Austin Reaves, returning after missing nine games with an injury, contributed 22 points and 6 assists. The Lakers committed 15 turnovers, their worst performance of the series.
