The Los Angeles Lakers got off to a hot start against the Houston Rockets on Saturday, leading by as much as 21 points in the first half, and looked like they were on their way to a comfortable victory.
Then the third quarter happened.
In the first few minutes after halftime, Lonzo Ball had to be carried off of the court, Luke Walton was ejected from the game and the Lakers couldn’t buy a bucket if they tried. After that, it was anyone’s game, but ultimately, it ended up being Houston’s night.
