In a thrilling Game 3, the Lakers outlasted the Rockets, winning 121-118 in overtime. LeBron James led the Lakers with 29 points, including a game-tying three-pointer with 13 seconds left in regulation. 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. Smart sealed the victory with two free throws, giving the Lakers a 121-118 win.

Coach JJ Redick praised the Lakers road performance, while Rockets coach Ime Udoka acknowledged their struggles in closing games. The Lakers have a chance to sweep the series on Sunday night in Houston, with the Rockets missing Kevin Durant for a second straight game due to a sprained ankle.
