Regular Season Round 163: LA Lakers - Houston R. 99-95 OT
Date: April 17, 2013
The Lakers survived an injury-plagued, tumultuous season to finish seventh in the Western Conference (45-37) after defeating the Houston Rockets (45-37) in overtime, 99-95, on Wednesday night at Staples Center. Although the Lakers and Rockets split their four meetings, the Lakers earn the higher seeding based on a better record in conference play. The Lakers draw the second-seeded San Antonio Spurs in the first round in a Sunday game while the Rockets will play the top-seeded and defending conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder. Going into the night, the Rockets were the highest scoring team in the league at 106.1 points a game. The Lakers held them well below that in 53 minutes. Pau Gasol notched a triple-double with 17 points, 20 rebounds and 11 assists. Steve Blake led the Lakers with 24 points, although it was on 6-of-20 shooting, while finishing with seven assists and seven rebounds. Dwight Howard played 46 minutes, scoring 16 points, grabbing 18 rebounds, blocking four shots and making three steals. James Harden was the game's leading scorer with 30 points but he made only 8 of 25 from the field. Chandler Parsons scored 23 points, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer to force overtime. Houston shot 41.7% (35 of 84) from the field, 24.2% (8 of 33) from three and 70.8% (17 of 24) from the free-throw line. The Lakers dominated the offensive glass, 17-9, giving the Lakers desperately needed possessions. The team shot 36.7% from the field, 31.2% (10 of 32) from behind the arc and 67.6% (23 of 34) from the free-throw line. Defense and rebounding ultimately got the job done for a Lakers team playing without star guards Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash. Courtesy of: latimes.com
