LeBron James delivered a spectacular performance in a remarkable 112-108 overtime victory over the Houston Rockets, putting the Los Angeles Lakers up 3-0 in the first-round series. The Lakers had lost to the Dallas Mavericks on April 5, with Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves expected to miss out due to injuries. James, who had previously performed a 33-point triple-double in the Finals, delivered his best in this game, delivering 29 points, 13 rebounds, six assists and three steals. Despite these struggles, James remains one of his 41 years as a professional athlete and has a long history of performing well in postseasons. His performance in the Game 3 was described as his "everything" game.
