Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers will square off again todayat 9 PM (ET) at AdventHealth Arenain Orlando for Game 3 of the 2020NBA playoffs. This will be a crucial matchup between both sides, as we already know the winner of the third game of the series often ends up advancing to the next round.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis bounced back in a big way to lead the Lakers to a 117-109 win in Game 1 after dropping the first of the series. They led for as much as 22 but the Rockets rallied to take the lead late in the game.

James Harden continued to dominate in the offensive end but Russell Westbrook struggled mightily from the field. Now, Mike D’Antoni’s team must make an adjustment right away to avoid falling to the first-seeded team in the West.
