LeBron looks like LeBron as the Lakers win big in Game 3 vs. Phoenix

It had been NINE YEARS since the Lakers last won a home playoff game in front of fans, but that drought is no more! The Lakers beat the Suns 109-95 in Game 3, taking a 2-1 series lead heading into Sunday's Game 4. Defense remained the calling card, frequently coming in suffocating waves. Anthony Davis controlled the game on both ends, and got quality help from Dennis Schröder, Andre Drummond and LeBron James, who, after struggling to get to the rim in Games 1 and 2 spent the second half Thursday driving hard to the bucket. Outside shooting is still an issue, but the Lakers nonetheless had some desperately needed fun at Staples. Maybe too much fun if you ask Phoenix, but they don't get a vote, so.... Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Kamenetzkys break down the highlights from the Game 3 victory. Incredible defense. More strong performances from Davis, Schröder, and Drummond. Lots of celebrating by Laker players. And lots of chippiness from Suns players who didn't enjoy said celebrating. SEGMENT 2: This was the first game since his return from a high ankle sprain where LeBron really looked liked LeBron. The explosiveness was back, particularly in the second half, as he drove relentlessly to the rim. He also engaged in a mano y' mano with longtime foil Jae Crowder, who was up for the battle, but largely lost the war. SEGMENT 3: The Lakers controlled the game, but their outside shooting remains dreadful. Moreover, the role players started becoming hesitant to put up threes. The Kamenetzkys try to predict who'll break out of this collective slump first. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
