Steph Curry had 23 points, four rebounds and three assists. Curry collected a playoff-high 12 assists in Game 2, and his work as a ball distributor and shooting decoy were instrumental in the 27 point victory.

Since 2015, the Warriors are 27-9 (.750) following a playoff loss.
The Warriors have won at least one road game in each of the last 28 playoff series, an NBA record streak that began as a No. 6 seed with a road victory in Denver in the First Round of the 2013 NBA Playoffs.

Why Bet on Los Angeles?
The Lakers took a 2-1 series lead and remained unbeaten at home with the 127-97 win in Game 3. Los Angeles shot 52.5 percent from the fi eld and held the Warriors to just 39.6 percent shooting in a game in which they led by as many as 34 points.
Anthony Davis did a bit of everything for L.A. with 25 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, three steals and four blocks. In odd-numbered games in their two playoff series, he has been spectacular. In Games 1, 3 and 5 against the Grizzlies and Game 1 against the Warriors, Davis averaged 28.5 points and 17.8 rebounds per game. However, in Games 2, 4 and 6 against the Grizzlies and Game 2 against the Warriors, he averaged 13 points and 10.3 rebounds.

The Lakers limited the Warriors to 39.6 percent (36-91 FG) shooting from the field, good for the fourth time this postseason the Lakers have held their opponent to under 40 percent shooting in a game. The biggest difference in the Lakers’ effectiveness was in their perimeter defense. After allowing the Warriors to make 42 3-pointers over the first two games — a record for the most 3s made over two games to open a series — Golden State shot 13-for-44 (29.5%) in Game 3.
“We’re one of the best defensive teams in the league, if not the best,” James said. “And in order for us to reach our potential, we have to defend at a high level. And there’s not one team in this league that tests you on that side more than Golden State.”
