LeBron James turned back the clock, scoring 29 points and drilling a game-tying triple with 13 seconds left in regulation to force overtime and eventually secure a 112-108 win. The Lakers now hold a commanding 3-0 series lead. Houston, missing Kevin Durant, nearly pulled off the upset behind Alperen Sengun’s monstrous 33-point, 16-rebound effort. However, Marcus Smart’s veteran savvy, including three crucial free throws late in the fourth and James’ defensive steal shifted the momentum. The Lakers outlasted the second-youngest starting lineup in playoff history to put the Rockets on the brink of elimination.

Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli played quintessential T20 knocks of 55 and 81 respectively, trumping Sai Sudharsan's century to power Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a five-wicket win over Gujarat Titans in an IPL match at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday. Once Devdutt and Kohli added 115 runs for the second wicket in no time, RCB’s chase of 206 was right on track, which they eventually completed in 18.5 overs and moved to the second spot in the points table (10 points). The champion batter and his understudy tore apart GT bowlers after the early dismissal of Jacob Bethell in a mesmerising display of aggressive batting, in total contrast to the measured way their rivals’ went about gathering runs in the first innings. Earlier, Sudharsan produced a magnificent 100 that was an anti-thesis of T20 batting, but still strong enough to carry Gujarat to a competitive 205 for three.
