The Los Angeles Lakers pushed the Houston Rockets to the brink of elimination with a 112-108 overtime win in Game 3 of their first-round series.
It was supposed to be another defining chapter between two of the NBA's all-time greats. Instead, it may end quietly.
The Lakers topped the Houston Rockets, 101-94, on Tuesday, April 21, to take a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.
