Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun posted near-matching double-doubles as the Houston Rockets blistered the visiting Los Angeles Lakers 135-119 on Monday.

Green produced his third consecutive double-double with 34 points, a career-high 12 rebounds and seven assists. Sengun tallied 31 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists as that duo co-authored a rousing offensive effort from the Rockets, who shot 53.1 percent from the floor and scored 29 fastbreak points.

Rookie Cam Whitmore added 20 points off the Houston bench while Jabari Smith Jr. put up 18 points and nine rebounds. Dillon Brooks scored 17 points for the Rockets, who led by as many as 30 before the Lakers fashioned a fourth-quarter rally. Houston won for the second time in three games.

LeBron James, Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell scored 23 points apiece for the Lakers, with James adding a team-high 10 assists. Los Angeles had won five of its previous seven games.

The Rockets, who were up by 18 at halftime, reeled off a 12-1 spurt to open the second half. When Smith banked in a shot in transition with 7:35 left in the third period, the Rockets secured a 94-64 lead. When the Lakers started their methodical crawl back into contention, the Rockets seemed to have an answer, including a Green 3-pointer that lifted the margin to 108-83 with 26.8 seconds left in the third.
