Both teams will have a clean injury report for Game 3.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves will travel to Minneapolis for a crucial Game 3 of the series. The Lakers bounced back on Tuesday with a 94-85 win to tie the series 1-1. Luka Doncic dropped consecutive 30-point performance in Game 2 to script an important victory.
The Lakers used a 34-15 scoring edge in the first quarter to control the game against the Wolves, who took an early lead in the series with a 117-95 win in Game 1. The early double-digit deficit denied Minnesota a 2-0 advantage before the home game. Now, this series head to Minneapolis for a exciting matchup.
The Wolves shot 38% from the floor and 20% from 30-point range. It was a completely different shooting performance compared to Game 1. Meanwhile, the Lakers also need to improve their 3-point shooting, as they went 21-for-70 in the playoffs. The previous victory could boost their confidence in Game 3 but it won’t be easy to counter the Wolves at Target Center.
