One key factor in the past 3 games is that the Rockets managed to establish a lead over the Lakers within the first 3-5 minutes of the game. The difference is that in the games we won, we expounded on that lead and kept it beyond the first quarter (which is always a good omen), while in the one loss, we let that 18-11 lead slip away by going cold and through turnovers. I think the former has to happen if we have any hope of winning in Sunday. The also cannot afford to let them knock on the door like they did on the third quarter in the previous game, as they will no longer have the luxury of homecourt to stave off the wolves long enough to get the lead back up again.
you could be right, but this game could be the one that comes down to the last second shot. you never know.
