The Los Angeles Lakers are going to the conference finals for the first time in a decade, ending the longest drought in franchise history. James scored 29 points and the Lakers wrapped up their first trip to the Western Conference finals since 2010 by topping the Houston Rockets 119-96 on Saturday night in Game 5 at Walt Disney World. James is going to the conference finals for the 11th time overall — six with Cleveland, four with Miami and now with the Lakers. “We’ve got a great organization, great city, great fans, team’s great,” D’Antoni said. The Lakers scored the next 15 points, and the lead was 95-69 going into the final quarter.
