The Minnesota Timberwolves took Game 1 on the road Saturday night in their first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Wolves drained 21 three-pointers, a franchise record for the playoffs, but their physicality stuck out most to the Lakers, who now aim to regroup and tie the series before it heads to Minnesota.
Lakers stars LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves commented on Minnesota's physical play in L.A.'s 117-95 loss Saturday. Reaves mentioned how the Wolves "physically beat us from the get-go," with James noting that the Lakers "should be more prepared for that." Lakers coach JJ Redick shared a similar sentiment as his team tries to adjust for Game 2 on Tuesday night.
