#6 WARRIORS at #7 LAKERS | FULL GAME 3 HIGHLIGHTS | May 6, 2023

They've won their last two road games, game 5 and game 7 in Sacramento against the Kings to advance to the second round. James lobs it into Davis to Michael Green guarding him. Both Greens took turns the other night. Russell, his first shot is good. No question they can switch it. Blocked by Davis. The playoff leader in blocked shots over four per game. Russell, got it again. Couple of threes to start for Russell. Russell knocks down the lone. That's his eighth block in this series. Curry, bumped by Russell, counted and won. Curry felt the contact, flipped it up and a chance for a three-point play as the Warriors get on the board. Again, Wiggins on LeBron James. Andrew Wiggins has turned into one of the better defensive players in the game. Picks it back out. Russell's going to try again. Three for three from down. What a start. Four switches and then post James. Russell, unstoppable here in the first three and a half minutes. He's got 11 points already. With Davis on to Michael Green. Curry, three-pointer. Second real roll for Curry. Curry searching, probing, passing inside Draymond Green. Back out, Thompson. The quick release, got it. Russell, little shake and bang. Oh, spin move, DeAngelo Russell. LeBron James, there's not one matchup in the paint, other than Draymond Green, that can come close to competing with LeBron James. Curry, the runner off the glass. As Thompson comes the other way. Thompson finds plenty of room, knocks down the three. His second three-pointer. He can do both. Stop the ball and get back to Looney. Looney hands it to Poole. Poole fires away. That's good. Moses Moody. Who's had some big minutes here in these playoffs. Thompson again, got it. Wade Thompson back in L.A. Said he waited 12 years for this matchup. Six on the 24. Poole on the drive. And the Warriors, after trailing by seven, now a six-point lead. So a 13-point turnaround here in the first. And James the rebound. He's got three rebounds, three assists. But again, still waiting for his first shot attempt. Walker tries a three. Got it. Avoided contact and Curry can't hit the three. Wiggins tips it back out. And a new 14 on the shot clock. Poole pass inside. Wiggins reverse. Got it. Wiggins rewarded for his good forward work. No shot block. James again, kicks it out. Russell gets a good clean look. Russell nails another three. He's got four. Five assists for LeBron James. Nice pass from Draymond Green. Gets rid of Reeves. Nails a three-pointer. His second. Nice play off the dribble by Curry. Had 10.7 rebounds in game two. Davis gets an easy look down low. Anthony Davis now in double figures. DiVincenzo's an outstanding offensive rebounder for a guard. James spins. James drives. And he scores his first field goal of the game. Davis has DiVincenzo on him. James hits a three. Only his second field goal, but it puts the Lakers up by two. Russell a three. Got it. DeAngelo Russell, his fifth three-pointer of the half. And a seven-point lead for the Lakers. Tops on the fake. The sidestep. Can't answer. James. Another rebound. Throws it ahead to Russell. Russell fakes a pass. Drives. And flips it up and in. Wiggins. James gets up on him. Wiggins. A little room. And answers. Curry. Splits the seams. Down a lane. Layup shot is good. Thirteen points for Curry. Schroeder. Wide open. Nails a three. Eighth three-pointer for the Lakers. They're up seven. Davis catches. Drives. Goes inside. Lays it in. And the Lakers will head to the locker room with their largest lead of the first half. He pushed his man into the screen. I didn't say he was telling the truth. Oh, nice backdoor cut. Thompson gets a layup. Reeves gets in the paint. Jump shot. It's good. That's his first field goal. They've been struggling a bit in playoffs. I just, I never had that where we had non-shooters other than five men. Michael Green can't hit. Wiggins keeps it alive. Curry a three. That's good. Great play by Wiggins. Curry, a running start. Again, blocked by Davis. That's number four tonight. Looney gets it back to Wiggins. Wiggins with the emphatic slam. Looney. Hands off to Poole. Lonnie Walker back in the game. Poole trying to draw contact. Curry gets it and banks it home as it gets knocked to the floor. Schroeder running up the floor. Here's Walker. Back to Schroeder. That's good. Dennis Schroeder drills it. Five quick points by the Lakers. Curry a three-pointer. He's got it. Curry trying to heat up. He's got 21. The bench of the Warriors was dominant against the bench unit for the Lakers in the first half. Schroeder right up to Curry. Curry drives. The floater's up. And good. Steph Curry now with 23. Schroeder throws it up. Bad pass. Paul Karamzo out to Davis. Four on the shot clock. Davis, the runner's up. It's good. Come on, Looney. Down low. Threw it away. James spins. James drives. Off the glass. It's good. James to Walker. Six on the shot clock. Walker drives. Banks it in. Largest lead of the game for the Lakers. The job that Lonnie Walker has done, not just the scoring, but the defense. James into the paint. Falling away. Stops in the drive. Stops. Banked shot. It's good. The Warriors. But even though he can score, you don't play him unless you know you can trust him defensively. Alley-oop. Davis throws it down. Perfect pass from Schroeder. And the Warriors coming into this road game had their two biggest road wins of the season, obviously. Games five and seven against Sacramento. Well, they have come up against a determined Laker team. Nice feed inside. Draymond Green banks it home. Walker, Reeves, James, Gabriel, and Schroeder. Schroeder lines up a three. Twelve points off the bench for Schroeder. He doesn't even know. Like, if you said, you're trending on Twitter, my dad would be like, what are you talking about? Oh, that's a sweet move from Lonnie Walker. Playoff three-point percentage. 56% he's shooting. 16 of 28 for the playoffs. DiVincenzo answers back. And I agree. I will say this. I can make determination as to whether a guy is ready to play or whether he's let go of the rope. And it could affect me going back to him moving forward. The players really complemented Davis and James much more as Anthony Lamb hits that. Jadiel Harrison, able to knock that down. Everybody wants to talk about it like it's some scientific thing. Then how does he play well sometimes as Thompson dumps it? There's Peyton. It's like everybody's speculating Joel Embiid will not be able as Peyton dunks it home because he played 39 minutes. Oh my goodness. How is he going to survive with his chef and his masseuse and his physical therapist? Oh, nice highlight there for Christie, the rookie. So after the Golden State Warriors dominated game two, L.A. Lakers come back and have a dominant performance led by Anthony Davis and LeBron James.
