The Lakers secure a one-nothing lead over the Rockets, but eagerly await Luka Doncics return. Both teams are dealing with injuries, missing key players like Doncic and Reaves for the Lakers, and their main guy for Houston. Doncic, recently back from treatment, is indefinite but his presence boosts morale. Hachimura shines in Game one, scoring against Houstons defense. Despite Doncics scoring title, he missed out on MVP nods. Game two promises to be tough, but the Lakers have shown they can win without him.
