LeBron James underscored the Los Angeles Lakers’ focused “mission” to secure a playoff spot after their 104-98 victory over the Houston Rockets on Monday night. The win extended the Lakers’ streak to two games and further solidified their position in the Western Conference playoff race.

All three Houston Rockets two-way signings — N'Faly Dante, Jack McVeigh, and David Roddy — are with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Houston's G League affiliate. Standard roster player Nate Williams is on assignment with the Vipers, too.
