LA Lakers take 2-0 series lead against Houston Rockets: Highlights

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets 101-94 on Tuesday, April 21, to take a 2-0 lead in their first-round NBA playoff series, achieving this without injured top scorers Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves. Kevin Durant scored 20 points in the first half on 6-of-7 shooting, but the Lakers' defensive adjustments — including double-teams and traps — held him to just 3 points on 1-of-5 shooting in the second half. The Rockets now return home facing a must-win Game 3.
