Who wins Lakers vs. Rockets Game 3 according to NBA 2K26?

Furthermore, Alperen Sengun earned 15 rebounds while recording two steals in the win. However, nobody other than Durant posted 15 points in the win.

Additionally, DeAndre Ayton also provided some assistance as he scored 24 points and earned 11 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 steal. But nobody else in L.A. managed to score 10 points in the loss.

Additionally, check out some of the game stats from our Lakers vs. Rockets Game 3 results:

With the win, the Rockets earn their first win of the series. Furthermore, they do it at home with the support of their fans. With another game at home coming up, perhaps there’s a chance this team ties the series back up to keep their season alive. However, there’s little room for error now, as the Lakers still only need two more wins to advance to the next round.

Meanwhile, the Lakers lose their first game of the series. Overall, it’s not the end of the world for them, but they hope to get things back in order soon. A win Game 4 would greatly help their efforts in advancing to the next round. And if Luka Doncic can come back from injury soon, L.A. will be in an even better position. Time will tell if the Lakers can keep things up while one of their top players recover.
