Klay Thompson scored 30 points and splashed 8 threes in a star performance, while Anthony Davis had a shocking 11 points and 7 rebounds game and was held to the fire in the loss by fans.

Anthony Davis not showing up for Game 2 pissed fans off extremely.

Fans were furious to see the Lakers trail by over 30 in a playoff game.

A fan compared AD to Andre Drummond.
Anthony Davis is an Animorphs book cover and the other end of the cover is Andre Drummond

Fans even knew that Laker fans are going to eviscerate AD for his play.
this is one of those Anthony Davis games in which all the rabid Lakers fans who stay up until 3 AM on a Tuesday in December screaming at each other on Twitter Spaces, telling 15-minute stories about why their uncle named the dog after James Worthy, can say "SEE!!!~~!"

Kevon Looney was taken out of the starting lineup for JaMychal Green, something many believed AD would take advantage of but desperately failed.
Anthony Davis is losing this match up to… (checks notes)… JaMychal Green 🤨

The passive play by AD really upset many Laker fans.
Anthony Davis is not doing enough & letting the Warriors get inside baskets. I need more from you AD

Fans loved seeing Klay Thompson explode the way he did tonight.
Klay moments never get old

LeBron James scored 23 points for the Lakers in the game but scored 21 of them in the first half itself. Rui Hachimura had a great 21-point outing off the bench, but they just couldn’t keep up. Stephen Curry had 20 points with 12 assists, and Draymond Green had a near triple-double with 11 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 assists.
A Series Defining Game 3
Game 3 is going to be played in Los Angeles and will be a make-or-break game for both teams. The Warriors can take home-court advantage on the series back if they win, while the Lakers are currently 2-0 at home in the playoffs and will hope to make it 3-0 in Game 3.
Anthony Davis needs to step up, which this playoff trend indicates he will because he has monster performances every alternate game. LeBron James started the game really well but trailed off throughout the game. With the run the Warriors went on in the second and third quarters, it was clear that the Lakers weren’t locked in and let the game slip away.
The energy needs to be right in Game 3 because if you let the Warriors back into a series, it most definitely won’t end well for you.
