With the win, the Lakers now tie the series up 1-1. Now everything is back to a level-playing field. But now the team heads to Minnesota for games three and four, giving the Timberwolves a slight edge. However, both Luka and LeBron have been at this stage before. They know what it takes and have the necessary experience to overcome the adversity.
Meanwhile, the Timberwolves lose an opportunity to take a 2-0 lead before heading back home. Had they won here, they could’ve ended the series in Minnesota. But sweeping the Lakers is no easy task, and winning one game on the road does help a great deal. Perhaps a change of scenery may help the Timberwolves get back on track. We’ll see what happens when Game 3 comes around later this week.
