The Los Angeles Lakers erased a six-point deficit in the final 40 seconds of regulation and took charge in overtime for a thrilling 112-108 Game 3 win over the Houston Rockets on Friday.
LeBron James tallied 29 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists to help the Lakers take a commanding 3-0 series lead.
The four-time Finals MVP drilled a game-tying triple with 13.1 seconds to go after an ill-advised turnover by Rockets guard Reed Sheppard.
