Big step up by Kuzma in this quarter, he's got 11.

14-0 run for the Rockets

— Kyle Goon (@kylegoon) September 7, 2020

With their doubling strategy, Lakers are forcing the supporting cast to beat them. To start the second half, Eric Gordon and PJ Tucker begin to oblige. Quick 9-0 Rockets run.

HALFTIME: Lakers 67, Rockets 51

The Lakers absolutely blitzed the Rockets in that first half. Anthony Davis with 18 points, LeBron with 17. Rajon Rondo has been a great conductor giving James a break on ball. Harden/Westbrook have been on ice on offense, combining for 14.

Lakers 67, Rockets 51.

Jeff Green was on the floor for about three minutes after the halftime buzzer with trainers standing over him.

Meanwhile, Lakers announce that Dion Waiters has pulled his left groin and is out for the rest of the game.

— Kyle Goon (@kylegoon) September 7, 2020

Rajon Rondo with seven first half assists, a plus-19 in his 12 minutes so far.

Danny Green has 2 corner 3’s in the 2nd Q. Meanwhile, Davis had a big swat on one end, and LeBron a tough finish through House’s foul to put LAL up 57-42. Nice answer from LAL after HOU had stepped up its play.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) September 7, 2020

LAL took its foot off the pedal just a bit once they got up 21, and Houston has already trimmed 8 points off that margin. Davis will return at the 7:29 mark of the 2nd Q after a time out.

FIRST QUARTER: Lakers 36, Rockets 20

Markieff Morris has made all four of his threes. And Rondo just made one as the buzzer went. Everything coming up Lakers, especially now that Davis is back from the locker room.

36-20, LA after the first quarte.r

Lakers want it more, playing harder … then the Rockets got Markieffed and Rondo'd.

Harden flopping around really led to him elbowing AD in the face…time for Metta to check in

— Lakers Nation (@LakersNation) September 7, 2020

So far in these playoffs, nothing has been better for the Lakers than Anthony Davis getting the eye of the tiger. Saw a big of that as he wrestled back that rebound on that last possession. He's started 3 for 4.

Anthony Davis is not messing around with PJ Tucker tonight.

— Inside SoCal Sports 📰 (@InsideSoCalSpts) September 7, 2020

Very very early challenge by Mike D'Antoni on a Harden charge (on LeBron) doesn't go the Rockets' way. Might be a tone-setter for how this game gets called.

— Kyle Goon (@kylegoon) September 7, 2020

Early Lakers surge, great intensity. Curious to see how the Rockets respond

— Stevie Wonder1369 (@wonder1369) September 7, 2020

Despite giving up 3 offensive boards already, and turning it over 3 times, LAL find themselves up 6-4 with HOU struggling to convert extra chances. Rockets are just 2 for 10 from the field, to LAL’s 3 for 6.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) September 7, 2020

Lakers defense is much better to start this game.

— Darius Soriano (@forumbluegold) September 7, 2020

KCP told us yesterday that the Lakers know after Game 1 that size isn't enough to win the glass — they've got to commit to good rebounding fundamentals and sometimes help with guards on the boards. Early, but yet to see that really in action.

— Kyle Goon (@kylegoon) September 7, 2020

Russell Westbrook still charges into the corner pregame even though there's no fans. Respect the integrity.
