LeBron James’ Game 3 masterpiece against the Houston Rockets did more than push the Lakers to the brink of a sweep. It also added another absurd milestone to a playoff resume that already feels impossible to measure.

The Houston Rockets host the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 of the first-round NBA playoff series Friday night. Here's what to know.

And also maybe LeBron James. A mortifying collapse down the stretch turned a series-saving win into an 0-3 hole for the Rockets, who are now one game from a sweep at the hands of the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers. Game 4 is scheduled for Sunday at 9:30 p.m. ET in Houston. No NBA team has ever blown a 3-0 lead in the playoffs.

The Houston Rockets return home to Toyota Center after losing the first two games of the first-round series to the Lakers in Los Angeles.

After a quiet second half and nine turnovers, Houston needs more from its superstar.

LeBron James scores 29 points, including a tying 3-pointer with 13 seconds left in regulation, Marcus Smart scores eight of his 21 points in overtime, and the Lakers beat a Houston team that was playing without Kevin Durant again,

Social media had the knives out for the Rockets after they blew a six-point lead with less than 30 seconds left in regulation and lost to the Lakers in Game 3.

Leading by six with under 30 seconds to go, the Houston Rockets were on the verge of their first victory against the Los Angeles Lakers. Instead, they fell apart and eventually lost 112-108 in overtime on Friday night and are on the brink of elimination in their first-round Western Conference playoff series.
