NBA Twitter reacts to Lakers’ Game 3 win over the Grizzlies

Just as they did in Game 1, the Los Angeles Lakers made a big statement to the Memphis Grizzlies and the rest of the NBA in Game 3 of their playoff series on Saturday night.

This time, they got it done with a dominant first quarter that saw them on top by the score of 35-9 after 12 minutes. Memphis tried to fight back later on, but it was to no avail, as the Lakers secured a 111-101 win and took a 2-1 series lead.

It was a physical and chippy contest in which L.A. was the aggressor. Early in the third quarter, Dillon Brooks hit LeBron James in the groin, got called for a flagrant 2 foul and was ejected. It was one of a few dust-ups throughout the game before an amped-up Crypto.com Arena crowd.

Fans on Twitter were pleased with the victory.
