LOS ANGELES -- LeBron James, D'Angelo Russell and Anthony Davis combined for 67 points Saturday night to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 127-97 Game 3 rout of the Golden State Warriors to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven NBA Western Conference semifinal showdown.
Davis bounced back from a sub-par Game 2, dominating the paint with 25 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks. James, who didn't take a shot until well into the second quarter, added 21 points with 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Two stats stood out in particular. The Warriors had 19 turnovers and Los Angeles shot 37 free throws -- 10 more than Golden State.
Los Angeles went on a 22-2 run midway through the second quarter to grab a 51-42 lead and then lengthen that 59-48 at the half as the Warriors self-destructed with turnovers, take fouls and technical fouls. Curry had 13 points at the half to lead the Warriors, Thompson had 11 after being held scoreless in the second quarter.
