Rajon Rondo showed up big in Game 3 to help the Lakers in their 112-102 win over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday.
Anthony Davis joined Giannis Antetokoumpo and Rudy Gobert on the NBA All-Defensive first team. Clippers Kawhi Leonard and Patrick Beverley are on second team.“I just took what I was given,” Rondo said. “Guys found me when I was open, I took some shots with confidence and I got some easy layups.”
In his first game back, in the opening loss against the Rockets, he was a minus-10. He was lost, committing four turnovers. He looked awful. “All we did was do our job,” Rondo said. “We won two games. We’re the No. 1 seed. In my eyes, that’s expected.” It was too much Rondo, which lifts some of the enormous pressure off James and Anthony Davis, which is the only way they win a championship.James scored 36, but he was needed for only seven points in the second half. Davis scored 26, but scored only one basket with no rebounds in the fourth quarter. It was a night James became the NBA all-time leader in playoff wins, yet that wasn’t even the biggest story.
