Steve Blake banked in a three-pointer with 1.3 seconds left to hand the Los Angeles Lakers a thrilling 99-98 victory over the Houston Rockets.

James Harden had 35 points and former Laker Dwight Howard had 15 points and 14 rebounds but it all came to nothing for Houston as Blake took an inbounds pass from Jodie Meeks after put up the winning shot.

Patrick Beverley had time to launch a three-point attempt of his own at the buzzer but it bounced off the backboard.

The win was the first for new head coach Brian Shaw.
