LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Anthony Davis was the biggest player on the floor, and the Houston Rockets had no answers.

James had 16 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists for the Lakers, who outrebounded the Rockets 52-26.

Alex Caruso scored 16 and Rajon Rondo had 11 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists for the Lakers, who held on after frittering away most of a big second-half lead.
