The Los Angeles Lakers took home a Game 3 win over the Phoenix Suns — and a 2-1 series lead in the process — despite not playing up to their standards in any way. Frank Vogel’s defense did a good job, holding the Suns to just 95 points and forcing 17 turnovers. However, like it has been all season, their offense did not hold up their end of things.
Despite winning by 14, the Lakers shot an abysmal 44.2% from the field and 25% from three. They also had just 19 assists to the Suns’ 24, with the biggest reason for this discrepancy being turnovers.
