Why we are watching the Lakers vs. Warriors on May 6, 2023

The Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors have been part of some epic games in recent years, and Game 3 is lined up to be another spectacle. Here are five stories that make this a dramatic, must-see game for hoops fans.

1. LeBron James vs Steph Curry. This one is a must-see as two of the games’ current superstars face off in the postseason. Both players seek their fifth NBA title, and Game 3 is the next step.
2. Can the Lakers contain an explosive Warriors offense? In Game 1, it looked like LA had the victory in the bag late in the game before the Warriors suddenly exploded. The Lakers needed a penalty call, two free throws, and a time-out in the final seconds to secure the win. Game 2 saw the Warriors take things to another level on the way to a blowout victory.
3. Who takes a commanding lead? With the series tied 1-1, the winner of game 3 will take a commanding lead in the series. After teams split the first two games, game 3 often decides the ultimate winner, which means both teams will be playing their best ball.
4. Do the Warriors have the depth and stamina to overcome LA? After going a full seven games to knock off the Sacramento Kings, the Warriors have played more ball than any other postseason team. A huge question will be whether the team, which has several veterans on the roster, can continue to play at a high level.
5. What will Anthony Davis do next? The Lakers Anthony Davis scored 30 points in Game 1 as the Warriors had no answer. With LeBron hobbled with a minor foot injury, players like Davis, D’Angelo Russell, and Dennis Schroder will pick up the slack, particularly from beyond the three-point line. Can the Lakers supporting cast step up as they return to a cozy home court environment?
