Rui Hachimura delivered a strong performance in the Lakers’ Game 3 win over the Rockets, scoring 22 points, including two three-pointers, and contributing across the board with four rebounds, two assists, and a steal. Hachimura’s early scoring burst with 16 first-quarter points set the tone, making him the team’s second-leading scorer behind LeBron James. His efforts helped offset a quieter night from Luke Kennard, who managed just 14 points after averaging 25 in the series’ first two games.
