The top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers beat the Danuel House Jr.-less Houston Rockets 119-96 in Game 5 of their Western Conference semifinal series on Saturday night and wrapped up their first trip to the WCF since 2010. After the game, LeBron James talked to the media:

“I am a winner and I’ve always been a winner… I understand what the Laker faithful were going through the last decade, not being in the postseason or competing for championships. I took that responsibility as well.”
