Costly mistakes in the fourth haunted the Lakers in a 119-115 loss to the Rockets

LeBron James and crew was in a battle with the Rockets late in the fourth quarter. Down by three, the Lakers needed someone to come and save them. James was that person. After calling a timeout, the in bounder was trying to throw the ball to James, but the Rockets' defense put the straps on James and crew. James saw that and attempted to call timeout, while the ball was in mid-air. The Rockets stole the ball, and James was forced to foul.

That was the nail that put the hammer on the game. Houston made both of their free throws to escape with a victory. The Lakers' big three combined for 72 points and had only 10 turnovers in the game. LA had four crucial turnovers in the last five minutes of the game, which turned into points for Houston.
