Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
Golden State was led by a strong performance from Klay Thomspon, who led the team in scoring with a team-high thirty points. Steph Curry turned in a somewhat low-scoring game but was outstanding, passing the basketball, as he led the team in assists and was the best playmaker on the court. For the Lakers, it was all Lebron James early as he dropped twenty-one points in the first half and kept the Lakers in the game, but he could not it up in the second half as he ended the game with just 23 points. Anthony Davis had his worst game of the playoffs, as he ended the game with just eleven points and eleven shot attempts. The Lakers will have to be much sharper tonight if they want to take control back of this series.
I am going to trust the Lakers to bounce back and win this game on their home floor tonight. I love the angle for the Lakers, who could not have played much worse in game two. I feel as if they did their job on the road, and now they get an opportunity in what should be an electric atmosphere tonight. Anthony Davis has received a lot of negative press after his poor showing and game two, and I feel as if he will be ultra-aggressive tonight and return to form. Let’s stay hot on the hardwood and cash in!
