ORLANDO - LeBron James and Anthony Davis combined for 62 points and 21 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Lakers held off the fourth-seeded Houston Rockets' second-half rally to win 117-109 on Sunday to even their National Basketball Association Western Conference semi-finals series 1-1.What began as a Lakers blowout turned tight in the second half. The Lakers led by as many as 21 points early in the second quarter, but needed to survive the Rockets' surge after the intermission.
The Rockets' third-quarter surge was, predictably, sparked by the three-point shot. Houston went 9-of-13 from deep in the third quarter alone. That included a four-point play by Robert Covington to cut the Lakers' lead to 80-79 with 5min 7sec left in the period, and another three by Covington to give the Rockets an 82-80 lead.But James started the fourth quarter with a driving dunk to tie the score at 92.
The Lakers were much more successful on Sunday against a Rockets defence that entered the game as the NBA's best in the play-offs. The Lakers shot 56.6 from the field and scored 54 points in the paint. They also scored 27 points off 17 Rockets turnovers.
