Quarter-Finals Round 5: Houston R. - LA Lakers 78-118

Date: May 12, 2009
Now that was impressive -- very impressive. The Lakers applied a beat-down on the Houston Rockets, 118-78, tonight in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals at Staples Center. The game became such a bore for the fans, with nothing to cheer about after the Lakers built a 40-point lead, through three quarters, that the fans started a wave in the fourth. They were happy to see the Lakers rebound from Sunday's poor performance to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. Game 6 is Thursday night in Houston, back at the site where the Lakers played an embarrassing Game 4, losing to a Rockets team that didn't have Ming Yao (broken left foot). But the Lakers can close out the series with a win Thursday. Kobe Bryant, limited to just 15 points in Game 4, had 26 points in just 31 minutes tonight. He didn't play in the fourth quarter. Pau Gasol had a double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds.
