Tari Eason made a significant impact in Sunday’s Game 4 win over the Lakers, delivering 20 points, eight rebounds, and a playoff career-high five steals. After struggling in Games 2 and 3, Eason’s efficient shooting was a welcome boost for the Rockets, especially with Kevin Durant sidelined. His performance was pivotal in setting the defensive tone, contributing to the team’s 19 steals. As the series progresses to Game 5, Houston will look to Eason to maintain his form and help offset Durant’s absence.
