With the first round of the playoffs in full force, the Los Angeles Lakers locked horns with the Phoenix Suns in Game 3. Both teams entered this match with a different mindset but the same purpose. While the Suns wanted to win this game to regain their lead, the Lakers, who knotted the series at 1-1 in Game 2, looked to maintain that momentum and win. And it seems like LeBron James is planning to have fun with it while doing it.

A mediocre performance from Anthony Davis in the first game motivated him to do better as he put up 34 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 blocks in the last game.

After a lousy effort on the Lakers’ part in the first game, it cost them a vital head-start. Luckily for the purple and gold fans, they rallied back to make it even, and this third game will determine who has better chances of advancing to the second record. Now, it seems like the Lakers have Game 3 also under their control.
