After they had a very poor and lackadaisical effort in Game 2 that resulted in a 27-point loss, the Los Angeles Lakers were being doubted by some observers and even their fans heading into Game 3 at home.
Early on, it looked like perhaps those doubters had a point. Los Angeles scored the first six points of the contest and jumped out to a 13-6 lead, but an 18-4 run late in the first quarter put the Warriors in front, and they went up by 11 with 7:53 left in the second quarter.
