James' turnovers, Davis' fouls doom Lakers in Game 3 loss

LeBron James powered into the lane, looking to take another step toward an NBA title.

Instead, he took too many steps.

James was whistled for traveling, ending a possession that could have given the Los Angeles Lakers a fourth-quarter lead.

A couple minutes later, he did it again.

In the time of the game when he usually turns it up, James turned it over Sunday night, part of a sloppy performance by the Lakers in a 115-104 loss to the Miami Heat in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

"It wasn't about effort, it was just about execution," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said.
