LeBron James Leads Second-Half Comeback, Lakers Defeat Rockets To Start Second Half Strong

LeBron James has been known to lead teams on spectacular second-half runs, and he began his quest to do it again with the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night.

Going into the second half of the season, the Lakers were three games out of the final playoff spot in the West. That hole got a bit slimmer when they hosted the Houston Rockets in the first game out of the All-Star break, earning a comeback 111-106 victory.

Things weren’t looking good for much of the game for the Lakers, but they closed the game on a 26-14 run to earn the win.
