One LeBron James record shows the Houston Rockets have no chance of a comeback vs. LA Lakers

And with the Lakers already holding that exact advantage, the odds are heavily stacked against the Rockets.

LA Lakers’ early dominance and LeBron’s control shaping series vs. Rockets

The current series has followed that same script so far, with the Lakers taking a 2-0 lead after winning both games at home. They secured a 107-98 win in Game 1 before closing out a tighter 101-94 victory in Game 2, showing both offensive efficiency and defensive control.

LeBron has been at the center of it all, averaging 23.5 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists across the first two games while controlling the tempo and creating opportunities for teammates.

The Lakers’ defensive approach has also played a major role, particularly in limiting Houston’s key options. Kevin Durant, for example, struggled with heavy double teams in Game 2, committing nine turnovers and scoring just three points in the second half after a strong start.

All of it points to a series that has tilted firmly in one direction, with LeBron not just producing, but dictating how the games are being played. And if history is anything to go by, that combination has rarely left room for a comeback.
