Lakers tear into wayward Warriors to take 2-1 lead in NBA playoff series

• Los Angeles remain unbeaten at home this postseason
• Miami take 2-1 lead over New York thanks to strong defense

LeBron James didn't take a shot in the first quarter of Game 3 for the first time in his NBA-record 275 playoff appearances, and the Los Angeles Lakers' home crowd rumbled with uncertainty each time he passed the ball instead. But James and his Lakers were just taking a while to warm up before they steamrolled the Golden State Warriors.

Anthony Davis had 25 points and 13 rebounds, a slow-starting James finished with 21 points, eight assists and eight rebounds, and the Lakers took a 2-1 lead in their second-round playoff series with a 127-97 victory on Saturday night.
