After evening the series, the Los Angeles Lakers now head to Minnesota for the next two games in what is sure to be a raucous environment. Luka Doncic is very familiar with the atmosphere having faced the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals last year and he is ready for it.

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.

The Lakers fell flat in the opening game of the series but came back strong in Tuesday's Game 2, winning 94-85 thanks to a strong defensive effort. After the game, Doncic warned that the next game in Minnesota would be a "war" and warned that his team must not panic.
