After their initial loss, the Lakers have now pushed the Rockets to the brink of elimination. While LeBron James and Anthony Davis have dominated the court, James Harden has struggled to score consistently for the Rockets. Harden scored 21 points during Game 4, while shooting 2-of-11 from the field.

The Lakers' 110-100 victory gave them their 3-1 lead, which they obtained after almost blowing their 23-point lead in the final period, but a clutch shot by Alex Caruso saved them. Davis scored 19 points, while James added 16 points and 15 rebounds. Russell Westbrook scored 15 points for the Rockets, who will also be without sixth man Danueal House Jr. The Lakers last reached the Conference Finals in 2010, led by late Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.
