That could be a crushing blow for the Rockets, who were heavily favored against the Lakers in this series but have since lost the first two games.
Now, action travels to Houston, and if the Lakers manage to win Game 3, they’re almost assured to win the series, despite the devastating injuries they’ve suffered.
As detailed by Mike Gavin of NBC Sports, no NBA team has ever overcome a 3-0 series deficit and come back to win in seven games.
