With the Miami Heat’s 4-1 series victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, game four between the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets takes center stage this evening.
Rockets-Lakers has been fiercely competitive. The Lakers lead 2-1 but have outscored the Rockets by just three points in the first three games.
If you’ve missed the series so far, make time tonight. The playing style and personnel differences make the games a fun and engaging watch.
The Rockets, of course, jettisoned decades of basketball orthodoxy in February when they traded center Clint Capela for Robert Covington and committed to small lineups.
