Marcus Smart had a standout performance with 21 points and 10 assists, while Rui Hachimura added 22.

Down by six with under 30 seconds left, the Lakers rallied back, with Smart hitting three free throws after a foul on a three-point attempt. The Lakers took a 107-103 lead in overtime, but the Rockets fought back, with Reed Sheppard hitting a three to cut the lead to three.
