Recap
Luke Kennard delivered a standout performance in Saturday’s Game 1 victory over the Rockets, scoring 27 points with an efficient shooting display while contributing four rebounds and three assists. Missing key players like Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves, the Lakers leaned on Kennard, who stepped up with a playoff career-high. His impressive accuracy, including making all five of his three-point attempts, will be crucial for the Lakers as they look to replicate success in Game 2.
