Rajon Rondo becoming the x-factor that could propel Lakers to NBA Championship

The Los Angeles Lakers were without Rajon Rondo for their first 13 games in the bubble due to his broken thumb.

Returning for the start of the Lakers second-round series against the Houston Rockets, Rondo has been a huge reason the Lakers have won back-to-back games after dropping Game 1 against the James Harden-led side.

Rondo has played over 24 minutes in each of the three games. In said games, the Lakers have been 25 points better with the veteran point guard on the court in terms of +/-.
