For all of the flaws that the 2020-21 Los Angeles Lakers have, those deficiencies might not cost them when it comes to defeating the Phoenix Suns -- all because of Chris Paul.
Outside of Davis and James’ efficient shooting efforts, Los Angeles went 18-of-45 from the field and 6-of-21 from the three-point line in Game 3.
Most importantly, the Lakers continue to win with a throwback, physical style that overshadows their flaws on offense. Despite a lack of quality perimeter shooting, the Lakers are simply winning games by punching it down the Suns’ throats. While the Lakers have seemingly increased their dominance in the paint with each passing game, the Suns have quickly regressed.
A lot of that has to do with Paul’s nagging shoulder injury and his inability to simple make any plays because of it. Paul’s limitations in this series reached a high in Game 3 when he registered a game-worst minus-2o plus-minus rating in just 27 minutes of playing time.
