Houston trailed the entire game against the Lakers on Saturday, but Eric Gordon hit a huge 3-pointer to tie the game in the closing seconds of regulation, sending the contest into overtime.
James Harden continued his scoring tear with 48 points. He also managed to grab four steals. Gordon scored 30 points and made some critical free throws to seal the deal in Houston's 138-134 win.
Kyle Kuzma scored 20 first-quarter points and finished with 32.
Houston is 26-19 and has overcome the injury bug so far this season to stay in the playoff hunt. Lonzo Ball went down with an ankle injury, so the Lakers will have to make some lineup changes to adjust and hold onto the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
