Game 3 was supposed to be a pivotal game between two of the most successful players of a generation, but it became a basic Los Angeles Lakers blowout.
With the series tied 1-1, the Lakers notched a 127-97 win on Saturday to take the series lead at home. Game 4 is scheduled for Monday at 7 p.m. PT in Los Angeles (TNT).
It wasn't the prettiest game, even with all the celebrities on hand at Crypto.com Arena. LeBron James, whose son Bronny announced his commitment to USC earlier in the day, went the entire first quarter without attempting a field goal, the first such start in his NBA-record 275 playoff games.
