One of the questions for the Timberwolves in this playoff series against the Lakers was how would they respond in a tight game against two stars in LeBron James and Luka Doncic who have thrived in those situations.

The Los Angeles Lakers are the higher-seed in their first round playoff series with the Minnesota Timberwolves, but you wouldn’t know it through the first three games of the series. Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels combined for 59 points as the Timberwolves surged past the Lakers in the second half for a 116-104 victory in Game 3 of their best-of-seven first round playoff series to take a 2-1 series lead.
