Los Angeles Lakers: Dorian Finney-Smith and Gabe Vincent combined for 20 points each as the Los Angeles Lakers defeated a feisty Houston Rockets side 104-98 at the Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday (IST).
On a night where the Lakers’ top stars in Luka Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves failed to display efficiency from the court, Finney-Smith and Vincent combined for 12 three-pointers and helped down the Rockets. The Lakers starting five were only able to sink four out of 20 attempted shots from behind the three-point line.
With the win, the Lakers improved to a 46-29 record this season and managed to move two games ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies, after a slender 134-127 victory against them on Monday (IST). With the playoffs set to begin in April, the win was certainly important for the Lakers as they moved one game behind the Denver Nuggets.
