When the Los Angeles Lakers pulled off a stunning midseason trade to acquire Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks, the move sent shockwaves across the NBA. Now, just a few months later, Doncic is showing exactly why the Lakers made such a bold move— and why he remains one of the league’s premier postseason performers.

Luka Doncic has revealed his and LeBron James' role in the Los Angeles Lakers' series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Lakers bounced back in game 2 with a 94-85 win, having lost game 1 95-117.

It's anybody's guess how the pace will unfold when the Lakers tip off against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night in Game 3 of their Western Conference quarterfinal series. The teams split the first two games of the series in Los Angeles and now will play the next two games in Minneapolis.
