Los Angeles Lakers lost 115-96 to the Houston Rockets in Game 4 of their Western Conference Playoff matchup, with LeBron James finishing with 10 points, nine assists and eight turnovers.

The Lakers were left for dead after both Luka Dončić and Austin Raves were sidelined due to injuries, but have been successful in this series despite their absence.
