Lakers Defeat Timberwolves 94-85, Tie Series 1-1

News summary

The Los Angeles Lakers rebounded from a disappointing playoff opener to secure a gritty 94-85 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2, evening their first-round series. The game was marked by the Lakers’ increased physicality and defensive intensity, with players like Rui Hachimura setting the tone despite playing through injury. Coach JJ Redick’s passionate and explicit timeout intervention in the third quarter helped refocus the team, sparking a pivotal run that built a decisive lead. Although Luka Doncic led the Lakers with 31 points, the win was attributed more to team defense and resilience than individual scoring. Both Redick and his players emphasized the need for playoff-level toughness to succeed, a lesson reinforced by their earlier shortcomings. The Lakers’ improved execution and ability to respond to adversity were key factors in saving their season and shifting momentum in the series.
