The Los Angeles Lakers secured a 112-108 overtime victory against the Houston Rockets to take a 3-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.

LeBron James delivered a legendary performance with 29 points, including a game-tying three-pointer with just 13 seconds remaining in regulation.

The Rockets, playing without injured star Kevin Durant, struggled to contain Marcus Smart, who added eight critical points in the extra period.

NBA history was also made as Bronny James recorded his first playoff points, marking the first father-son scoring connection in postseason history.
