The Los Angeles Lakers dropped a critical road contest to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night as the T'Wolves took a 2-1 series lead with a 116-104 win at the Target Center.

It has been announced that Game 3 has been delayed. The game will now tip off at 8:53. It's a little strange that the game is starting even later than it was supposed to, but that's what's happening. That gives the Lakers a little bit more time to get warmed up for a critical game.

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.
