A match-thriller for a place in the play-offs took place early in the morning in Los Angeles, where the Lakers finally managed to beat the Timberwolves 108-102 and get to the next round of the knockouts where they will face the Grizzlies.
LA returned to the match from -13 against Minnesota, which will have a second chance with the winner of the Pelicans-Thunder pair and Nikola Jokic’s Nuggets are waiting for them in the background.
The game had tremendous emotions and the home team seemed to have embraced the victory after the comeback they made, when Schroeder’s three-pointer gave them a 98-95 lead with 1.4″ left in the final game.

On the ensuing possession, however, Anthony Davis fell awkwardly on Mike Conley, who rose from the corner to tie the game, drawing the foul and making it 98-98 that sent the game into overtime.

In overtime, the Timberwolves made several mistakes, missed important opportunities to take the lead, and LeBron and his company did not let the “gifts” go to waste for the Lakers.
The first scorer for the “lake people” was LeBron with 30 points (10 rebounds and 6 assists), while Davis had a double-double with 24 points and 15 rebounds. For the Wolves, Towns had 24 points with 11 rebounds, Conley had 23 points and 6/8 three-pointers.
