LeBron James and Rajon Rondo led the Los Angeles Lakers to victory.

The Los Angeles Lakers gained the upper hand on Tuesday night taking a 2-1 lead with a shocking 4th quarter surge over the Houston Rockets. The shock in this game wasn’t that LeBron James dominated the game, but who led the Lakers to finish the game! Lake Show Life breaks down Game 3 with Lake Show Life Lessons! The only Los Angeles Lakers post game report with video analysis!

Stop if you’ve seen this Los Angeles Lakers movie recently. After playing a listless first game of a playoff series, the Lakers take a look at each other and go…“Oh, that’s all you have?” and run through the next two games with a real chance for a “Gentlemen’s Sweep”.

After allowing the Portland Trail Blazers to exhaust all of their options before being dismissed, the same scenario playing out before the NBA world after the Lakers’ grabbed the series lead with a 112-102 win over the Houston Rockets in Game 3 on Tuesday night.

A strong message from Lake Show Life: The game was not even that close. The Houston Rockets offense was stopped just as cold as the Blazers hot streak in the previous series.

This game has the year 2020 written all over it. If anyone on the planet that knew the game of basketball would have told you that Rajon Rondo and LeBron James was the best two players on the floor in this game (To the Houston Rockets fans, James Harden and Russell Westbrook were not! Stop box score watching…), you would have three questions.

  • What year is this, 2010?
  • Did Boston trade Rajon Rondo to the Cleveland Cavaliers?
  • Did LeBron James anger Pat Riley enough to blow up the Big 3 after 17 games the next year? (Remember LeBron and Erik Spoelstra didn’t get along in the beginning!).

No, it’s 2020 and these two are 34 and 35 years old respectively. Trust, the sports story of the day will be how these two are directly responsible for leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a crucial win in the Western Conference semifinals. Excuse the staff if there are punctual mistakes in this article because this will be prepared in shock!

In this post game’s episode of LeBron James rewriting of the NBA playoff record books in this series, we point out that he’s really starting to make some serious history.

  • In Game 2, LeBron James passed Ray Allen for second place all time in 3 point makes in playoff history.
  • With LeBron’s 4 blocks in the 3rd quarter alone, he passed Julius “Dr. J” Erving for 12th place on the NBA playoffs list.
  • The huge one? With this win, LeBron James passed Derek Fisher for the most playoff wins in NBA playoff history with 162 and counting! 

After the game, LeBron James was very humble in his accomplishments, not leaving out any of his colleagues throughout his career.

Wait a minute! He forgot Lake Show Life! The only Los Angeles Lakers website with in-depth coverage along with video analysis! Oh well, maybe he was tired and forgot us. No harm done!

We’ll get to LeBron James in a minute, but the next 48 hours will have Rajon Rondo written all over it. Rondo became the first player to have at least 12 points and five assists in the fourth quarter of a playoff game since LeBron James did it in a Cleveland Cavaliers uniform back in 2010.
