LeBron James and Russell Westbrook both had triple-doubles as the Los Angeles Lakers snapped a season-high, five-game skid with a 132-123 win over the Houston Rockets.
James added two free throws after that and his one-handed dunk after a turnover by Houston made it 124-116 with less than 90 seconds to go.
Green, the second overall pick in this year’s draft, led the Rockets with 24 points after missing 15 of the last 16 games with a strained left hamstring. Green got Houston going after that, making two 3-pointers during a 10-2 spurt that cut the deficit to 105-102. James put the Lakers back on top with a layup and Westbrook had a shot to extend the lead after a miss by Josh Christopher, but his dunk attempt bounced off the rim and high into the air.
