Anthony Davis is the fourth player since 1973, when blocks were first recorded, to record 65+ points, 35+ rebounds, and 15 or more blocks over their first three Playoff games, joining:

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (2x – April 10-15, 1979, April 20-24, 1977)

Ja Morant (23y 256d) is the 3rd youngest player in NBA History to record 45 points and 10 assists in a game, trailing Luka Doncic (22y 98d) and Trae Young (22y 277d).

    I like how the Lakers utilize Rui Hachimura and having him involved in the offense unlike his time in Washington. Glad he is getting some playing time as well.

    Lakers bounce back from last game to get this win! They play so good in the first quarter and despite some close runs, they hold on and get the win. Props to Ja for 22 points in the fourth quarter. On to Game 4!!
