Lakers vs Rockets Game 1 Recap 🔥 LeBron Still Dominating at 41?!

Author: Dion Crenshaw April 20, 2026 Duration: 1:12:37
  NBA Playoffs Breakdown The NBA Playoffs are officially underway, and Bubba Dub is back breaking down everything from Game 1 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets.

The Lakers take Game 1, 107-98, but Bubba Dub keeps it real  this wasn’t a perfect win. LeBron James continues to prove why he’s one of the greatest ever, finishing with 19 points, 13 assists, and 8 rebounds at 41 years old, controlling the pace and getting everyone involved early. The Lakers offense was on fire, shooting over 60% from the field and over 50% from three, led by big performances from Luke Kennard, Deandre Ayton, and Marcus Smart. But despite the win, there are concerns:
  • 20 turnovers
  • 21 offensive rebounds allowed to Houston
That’s not championship-level basketball, and Bubba Dub calls it out. On the Rockets side, Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, and Jabari Smith Jr. all contributed, but without Kevin Durant in the lineup, Houston struggled to keep up offensively. Bubba Dub asks the big question  is KD ducking Game 1 smoke, or will he change the series when he returns? Looking ahead, Bubba Dub predicts Lakers in 6, but says this series could shift quickly if LA doesn’t clean up their mistakes. The episode also covers:
  • Nuggets vs Timberwolves breakdown and Jokic’s dominance
  • Knicks vs Hawks series outlook
  • Cavs vs Raptors recap
  • The GOAT debate: LeBron vs Jordan
