Three takeaways from the Lakers’ closeout game against Houston

The Los Angeles Lakers completed their second consecutive gentleman’s sweep in the postseason with a 119-96 win over the Houston Rockets on Saturday. Here are three takeaways from the game.

The shooters are finding their rhythm

The Lakers shot 51.4% from behind the 3-point line on Saturday night, which is the highest percentage they’ve shot from 3-point range in the playoffs so far and the second-highest percentage they’ve shot all season.

Markieff Morris had an outstanding shooting night, going 6-7 from the field, including a perfect 4-4 from behind the arc, but it was Danny Green that had the awe-inspiring performance in Game 5.
