The Los Angeles Lakers picked up their sixth straight victory on March 17, 2026, defeating the Houston Rockets 100-92 at Toyota Center in Houston.
The win moved Los Angeles within two games of its longest run of the season and handed Houston its second consecutive loss.
Los Angeles controlled the pace for most of the contest, holding the Rockets under 100 points for just the third time in their last ten outings. A late push by Houston narrowed the gap to single digits in the fourth quarter, but the Lakers kept their composure at the free-throw line to secure the eight-point margin.
The result leaves the Lakers riding the league’s second-longest active winning streak heading into their next matchup, while the Rockets look to regroup before continuing their homestand.
