Lakers beat Rockets at home! Who noticed what Redick said about the two wonders? It's so reasonable!

On April 1, 2025, Beijing time, the NBA regular season staged a key card battle in the West, and the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets 104-98 at home, ending the opponent's three-game winning streak and further narrowing the winning gap with the third Nuggets in the West.

In this game, the Lakers substitute Vincent and Finney-Smith combined to contribute 40 points and became the core of the comeback.

James sealed the win on both ends of the floor in the final quarter, using key blocks and free throws.

Redick praised Vincent and the electric fan after the game:

"If you want to be a good basketball team, you need someone who does their role well and sticks to it...... We have a lot of players in the squad who have fully embraced their role and that was the turning point of our season. ”

In the first quarter, the two sides were locked in defensive entanglements, and the Lakers felt cold from the outside, shooting just 2 of 14 from three-point range, and the Rockets took a 19-16 lead thanks to Shin Jing and Amen Thompson's pick-and-roll tactics.

Doncic showed his playmaking talent in the second quarter, sending four assists in a single quarter to activate the bench firepower, Vincent hit three consecutive three-pointers, and the Lakers chased it to 48 at halftime.

Yibian fought again, the Lakers sacrificed a five-small lineup to speed up, Smith scored 3 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 11 points, Vincent continued to fire, and the Lakers overtook 78-73 at the end of the third quarter.

In the final quarter, Rockets Jalen Green made a sudden shot to tie the score at 94.

At the critical moment, James first blocked Shen Jing's layup with a big hat, and then hit two free throws to kill the suspense of the game.

After this game, the Lakers' record improved to 46-29, solidifying the fourth place in the West and approaching the top three.

The Rockets' three-game winning streak came to an end, and although they still sit in second place in the West, they missed the opportunity to lock in early playoff qualification.

The two sides will face Houston again on April 4, and it will be interesting to see if the Rockets can complete their revenge.
