Kyle Kuzma, Jordan Clarkson and Alex Caruso absolutely loved Game 1 of the Los Angeles Lakers-Golden State Warriors playoff series. Their tweets during the showdown revealed as much, with the trio unable to hold back their delight.
It's probably a factor that all three used to play for the Lakers and have many connections to them. Still, on Tuesday, Kuzma, Clarkson and Caruso simply looked like die-hard basketball fans who were craving for a good gam, and they got it from the highly anticipated meeting between LeBron James and Stephen Curry.
Kyle Kuzma was so in love with Game 1 that he said, “I don't want to watch another series oh my goodness!”
Meanwhile, Jordan Clarkson was just at a loss for words over the wild turn of events. It looked like the Warriors would be able to stage a late comeback in the fourth quarter, but thanks to Jordan Poole's hero ball blunder and some good defense from the Purple and Gold, the Lakers survived and took the 117-112 win.
“Bro what,” Clarkson first tweeted before sending another tweet saying, “playoffs.”
On the other hand, Alex Caruso shared his observation from the game and how much he loved the massive difference in playing style between the two teams. The Lakers made just 25 attempts from deep as they dealt more damage in the paint, with Anthony Davis benefitting from that and finishing with 30 points. In contrast, the Warriors lived and died by the 3-pointer with their 53 attempts, making only 21 of them.
“This is gonna be such a good series,” Caruso wrote. “This series is almost like new gen vs old school stylistically.. shooting vs paint/FTs.”
It's hard to blame the three for having such wild reactions, though. Stephen Curry and his Warriors' showdown with LeBron James and the Lakers certainly didn't disappoint, and we're just in Game 1!
