Although the Los Angeles Lakers took a 2-1 lead in the second-round series with a blowout win, Andrew Wiggins gave Golden State Warriors fans a reason to stand up on Saturday night.
After making headlines with a must-see dunk over Luka Doncic in the 2022 playoffs, Wiggins added to his postseason highlight reel on Saturday night.
Shortly the Lakers took a commanding lead with a run to end the second quarter, Wiggins gave the Warriors a spark in the third quarter. With under seven minutes remaining in the third quarter, the former All-Star forward received a pass from Kevon Looney and exploded through the lane for a one-handed tomahawk dunk over Anthony Davis that shook the Crypto.com Arena in Hollywood.

However, the spark from Wiggins’ rim-rocking dunk didn’t last long. The Lakers got the last word with a blowout win over the Warriors in Game 3, 127-97.
Wiggins finished the game with 16 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the field with nine rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes.
Trailing 2-1, Wiggins and the Warriors will be back on the floor for Game 4 in Los Angeles on Monday evening at 7 p.m. PT.
