All five Rockets starters pump in double-digit scores as the Lakers, playing minus LeBron James and Anthony Davis, post a measly 37.4% shooting clip. NBA
Kevin Porter Jr. scored a game-high 27 points to pace seven in double figures as the Houston Rockets defeated the visiting shorthanded Los Angeles Lakers, 114-110, on Wednesday, March 15 .
After making just 4-of-23 three-pointers entering the fourth, the Rockets found the perimeter touch at an opportune time. When Jalen Green drilled a corner trey off a Porter feed, the Rockets extended to a 101-89 lead with 6:42 left. That cushion proved comfortable enough for a second consecutive home victory.
Early success on the offensive glass and in the paint paved the way for the Rockets to secure a double-digit lead by the close of the first quarter. Houston converted five offensive rebounds into six second-chance points in the opening period and shot 54.2% while posting 22 paint points.
