NBA PLAYOFFS
The Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves will play what could be a pivotal Game 3 in their first-round NBA playoff series.
The Timberwolves got off to an ideal start in the series, posting an impressive 117-95 road win that spoiled the Lakers’ home-court advantage. Even with Luka Doncic putting up 37 points, Minnesota dominated the final three quarters to take a series lead, with Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, and Naz Reid all scoring over 20 points.
However, the Lakers showed what they’re made of in Game 2, tightening up on defense in a 94-85 victory. The Timberwolves shot 51% from the field in the first meeting, but were held to just 38% in Tuesday’s contest. Doncic went off again, missing a triple-double by just one assist (31 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists).
