The Lakers showed improvements in Game 2 against the Timberwolves, tying the playoff series 1-1. Both teams are yet to play their best basketball, with a physical series unfolding. Anthony Edwards is struggling to find an offensive rhythm, partially due to the Lakers’ defense disrupting his play. The Lakers are adjusting their defense to counter Edwards’ scoring attempts. In Game 3, the Lakers will focus on attacking smaller Timberwolves defenders, aiming to exploit matchups and create scoring opportunities. Jaden McDaniels is the primary defender against Luka Doncic, who has been a scoring force in the series. McDaniels’ foul trouble in Game 2 raises questions about his effectiveness against Doncic. The upcoming Game 3 will reveal how the Timberwolves plan to adapt defensively. The Lakers will face the Timberwolves on Friday at the Target Center in Minneapolis, with the game airing on ESPN and Spectrum SportsNet.
