The Los Angeles Lakers have bounced back from the ugly game 1 loss against the Houston Rockets. The Lakers won with the score of 117-109. The Lakers dominated the first half, but the Rockets were able to mount a comeback in the 3rd quarter, after outscoring the Lakers 41-23. The Lakers then put the game away in the 4th quarter, outscoring the Rockets 27-17.

LeBron James with a dominating effort, looking like he isn't 35 years old with all the highlight dunks, and coast to coast defense and offence. He finished with a near triple double with 28 points, 11, rebounds and 9 assists. Anthony Davis also delivered with 34 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists. The Lakers now tie the series at 1 a piece.

For the Rockets, Russell Westbrook had a bad shooting night, finished with just 10 points. James Harden, and Eric Gordon handled the load with 27, and 24 points respectively.

Game 3 will be played on Wednesday September 9, 2020.

Opinion and Predictions

The Lakers look good in my opinion with some of the players like Rajon Rondo returning from injury, and gaining momentum with this win. If Russell Westbrook continues to play poorly, the Lakers will have it their way. Lakers will win Game 3.
