James had 21 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists as Doncic poured in a game-high 31 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists in the victory in LA.
The series now moves to Minnesota for the next two games, so it will be a very important few days for the Lakers if they want to take the upper hand in the series.
However, James floated around social media on Wednesday with one viral clip.

A video of James surfaced on Wednesday.
In it, he was lying on the floor and appeared to be grimacing in pain with his hands over his eyes. Then, James opened one eye and appeared to see if anybody was looking at him.

"It's incredible how quickly he pulls himself together when the camera catches him," one fan said.
"Shameless," another said.
"This is why he will never be the GOAT," said another.
"Absolute embarrassment. And for the people that think he is the GOAT, you are clearly delusional," said another.
"Come on man..." another wrote.
"This guy is a joke," another fan replied.
"I can't wait until he retires," another wrote.
Fans also roasted James after his slow start in Game 1 of the series, so the LeBron trolls are out in full force with the NBA Playoffs underway.
In just one hour, the video from Overtime had over 435,000 views, so it's quickly making its way around the internet.

What do we need to know about Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown's knee surgery?
What do we need to know about Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown's knee surgery? Boston Celtics star forward Jaylen Brown has undergone surgery on his knee, according to a recent press release circulated by the team. What does this news mean for the Georgia native's future as a high level athlete, and what impact will it have on the Celtics short-term future and beyond? We have known about Brown's knee woes since late in the 2024-25 NBA regular season, when it was reported that the Cal alum was playing through pain due to a bone bruise and knee impingement. That discomfort lingered and impacted his play in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, after which it was revealed that the Boston star had been playing on a partially torn meniscus. The hosts of the CLNS Media "Garden Report" podcast, Bobby Manning and John Zannis took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Has Strong Words For Chet Holmgren During NBA Finals
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Has Strong Words For Chet Holmgren During NBA Finals originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Game 2 of the NBA Finals featured a much-needed bounce-back performance for the Oklahoma City Thunder after a stunning defeat in Game 1. The Thunder dominated the Indiana Pacers, comfortably winning a commanding 123-107 outing on Sunday. Advertisement Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a big part in the win. The 2024-25 MVP posted 34 points, eight assists, five rebounds, four steals, and one block. Chet Holmgren was one of the players who struggled in that first loss of the series. The Thunder big man only had six points and six rebounds in Game 1. The second game in Oklahoma City was much better. Holmgren finished with 15 points, six rebounds, and one block. There was a notable difference from the get-go with the young star.

The Thunder superstar had some strong words for his teammate after the series was evened up at 1-1. Advertisement "The special thing about Chet is nobody said anything to him," Gilgeous-Alexander stated after the Game 2 win. "He's such a competitor, and he gets lost in the competition, and I think he's the best version of himself now." "He's going to go out there and make mistakes just like the rest of us, but his intentions, his intangibles, his skill set, and the things you just can't teach that he does on the basketball court, they'll take over as long as he continues to have that right mindset. Which he does 99.999 percent of the time. And yeah, you don't have to worry about Chet. He's going to be that guy." -Shai Gilgeous-Alexander The Thunder will hope that Gilgeous-Alexander's words resonate with Holmgren moving forward. However, according to the superstar point guard himself, his teammate is capable of figuring everything out all by himself.

Concerning NBA Finals Trend Haunting OKC Thunder Against Indiana Pacers
Concerning NBA Finals Trend Haunting OKC Thunder Against Indiana Pacers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Oklahoma City Thunder could not regain homecourt advantage in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. The Indiana Pacers managed to take a 2-1 lead with a strong 116-107 victory. Advertisement The Thunder got the early advantage in the game, going up 32-24. After the Pacers counterpunched in the second quarter, the Thunder reestablished themselves with a 29-20 third. The Pacers then did what they do best: show up for crunch-time. Indiana outscored Oklahoma City 32-18 in the fourth quarter to secure the comeback victory. Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton looks to pass the ball as Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace defends during Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Finals at Paycom Center on June 8, Adams-Imagn Images The Pacers got several key performances to help propel them to the Game 3 win. Tyrese Haliburton just missed out on a triple-double with 22 points, 9 rebounds, and 11 assists. Pascal Siakam also pulled his weight with 21 points, six rebounds, four assists, two blocks, and 1 steal. Bennedict Mathurin added 27 points off the bench for the Pacers too. Advertisement All of this helped Indiana get the push they needed when trailing the Thunder. In all fairness, the Pacers are more than familiar with falling behind in this series despite the 2-1 lead. According to Keerthika Uthayakumar, "The Indiana Pacers are up 2-1 in the NBA Finals. They've only led for 10.7% of game time (20.6 minutes). Their largest lead of the series is 9." This is a trend that appears more than par for the course for a Pacers team that is used to making their fans sweat this postseason. Indiana has signature come from behind victories in all rounds of their NBA Playoffs journey so far. Advertisement The Pacers secured comebacks against the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks, and the Thunder. Each time, they have left their opponents shocked and stunned. The Thunder will have to approach every remaining game without remorse. Giving the Pacers any signs of life will only result in disaster.
