Jalen Green's 33-point performance and Fred VanVleet's clutch steal propel Rockets to narrow victory over Lakers.
Jalen Green scored 33 points and Fred VanVleet grabbed a key steal late to allow the Houston Rockets to hold on for a 119-115 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night. Amen Thompson added 23 points and a career-high 16 rebounds in his return after a two-game suspension to help Houston eke out the victory after leading by as many as 22.
After falling behind by 22 points in first half, the Lakers have a chance to force overtime but a turnover on an inbound play costs them their chance.
Green is a perfect player to pop off against the Lakers. The 22-year-old may struggle from deep, but he’s an ace inside the arc. He’s averaging 19.6 points per game this season and is coming off a 22-point performance against the Mavericks and a 27-point outing against the Celtics.
