Lakers eliminate Rockets in Game 6

The Los Angeles Lakers secured their place in the Western Conference semi-finals with a convincing 4-2 series victory over the Houston Rockets.

LeBron James delivered a vintage performance in the clinching game, recording 28 points and 12 rebounds to overcome a resilient Houston defense.

The Lakers' victory was bolstered by the return of key role players and a defensive strategy that limited the Rockets to just 32% shooting from the field.

Los Angeles now awaits the winner of the series between the Oklahoma City Thunder and New Orleans Pelicans for their next matchup.
