Luke Kennard made every shot he took in Game 1 of the Los Angeles Lakers’ first-round series against the Houston Rockets, becoming the first player in the club’s playoff history to record a flawless shooting night.
The reserve guard did not miss from the field or the free-throw line, keying a victory that put Los Angeles ahead 1–0 in the best-of-seven matchup. His spotless performance etched his name in the Lakers’ record book and provided a spark for a team looking to make a deep postseason run.
The series resumes with Game 2 later this week, and the Lakers will try to ride Kennard’s momentum as they look to extend their advantage.
