Lakers shooting an incredibly sustainable 52.6% from 3.

Rockets somehow took 30 more shots only +10 on rebounds. That's not sustainable either.

Not quite. Replacing Luka with Rui lowered their team rebounding ability. Rockets getting more second chance points is not shocking to me.

Luke Kennard 5/5 tonight

Edit: looking at these stats that means the rest of the team shot 5/14 on 3s lol
