Westbrook’s 41 points shoot Rockets past Lakers

The Houston Rockets, fueled by 41 points from Russell Westbrook, surged late to shock the NBA's Western Conference-leading Los Angeles Lakers 121-111 on Thursday. Anthony Davis shook off a sprained right index finger to lead the Lakers with 32 points. LeBron James added 18 for Los Angeles, who trailed much of the night but took a 108-105 lead on Avery Bradley's pull up jumper with 4:57 remaining.
