\n Rajon Rondo helped guide the Celtics to a title in his second NBA season.<\/p>\n

A dozen years later, he\u2019s trying to do the same thing with the Lakers. So far, he has impressed LeBron James and his other star teammates \u2014 especially in Tuesday\u2019s win over the Rockets in Game<\/a> 3 of the Western Conference semifinals, which gave Los Angeles a 2-1 series<\/a> lead.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Playoff Rondo\u2019 is real,\u201d Anthony Davis said after Rondo had 21 points and nine assists. \u201cHis intensity picks up. He wants to guard the best perimeter guy. He wants to facilitate on the floor. He\u2019s shooting the ball very well, making the right passes. We\u2019ve got the two best I.Q. guys in the game with him and LeBron on the floor at the same time, which is tough for defenses. So, \u2018Playoff Rondo\u2019 is real, and he showed up.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the Lakers took control of the game in the fourth quarter with a 10-0 run, Rondo scored eight straight points \u2014 and got the assist on the other basket.<\/p>\n

He also helped badger James Harden and limit Houston to 38 points in the second half.<\/p>\n

\u201c[It\u2019s beneficial] when you have enough people you can trust and be in the foxhole with you, not from a basketball aspect, but from a cerebral aspect,\u201d James said following the win. \u201cThe postseason is about making adjustments from game to game and also being able to make adjustments on the fly because things happ<\/a>en in real time.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to see how defenses are playing, seeing how the game is being played, seeing how the flow of the game is being played, there\u2019s just not many guys that can do that in our league. In the postseason, it\u2019s gigantic. Having [Rondo] on your side definitely helps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rondo missed the seeding games and the Lakers\u2019 first-round triumph over the Blazers after breaking his hand in a practice just as the NBA bubble opened. He returned for Game 1 against the Rockets.<\/p>\n

Rondo is in his second season with the Lakers and is averaging 13 points per game to go along with 7.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds in the first three games against Houston.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
