Boss size.
This Thursday, the Lakers showed all their power by winning Game 4 (110-100) with the way against the Rockets disillusioned.
Almost on a health walk leading throughout the game, Lebron James and his teammates have taken a big step towards a qualification long awaited by the franchise for 10 years.
Led by an excellent Anthony Davies (29 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists), the men in yellow wanted to prove that the defeat of the first game was only an anomaly.

Total defensive control
A clumsy James Harden, could not help his family worried the men of Franck Vogel.
He struggled to create good shifts for his teammates and weighed too little offensively.
Author of 21 points and a mediocre 2 of 11 shooting, the Rockets star was suffocated by the Lakers' defense.
“He's probably one of the best offensive players we've ever seen in this league, so we try to limit anything he can do as much as possible.
But he's so offensive that we can't get it all under control, ”said Lebron James on Houston's number 13.
A fright and a new kid
With 23 points ahead (101-78) and 7 minutes remaining, the Lakers saw themselves too good-looking and completely stopped playing at the risk of being surprised.
The scenario was announced and it was carried out as Houston came back to just 5 points (105-100) in the last minute.
But Californians pulled themselves together to finish the job.
