Show notes

LeBron James delivered another legendary playoff moment, hitting a clutch three to force overtime and leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 112-108 win over the Houston Rockets. With the victory, the Lakers now hold a commanding 3-0 series lead and are one win away from a sweep.

LeBron James’ clutch performance and what it means for the Lakers’ title hopes

The Rockets’ missed opportunity despite big nights from Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson

How Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are taking control of the Celtics vs Sixers series

The impact of Joel Embiid’s absence and what Philly must adjust moving forward
