For Minnesota, their defense still has the Lakers stumbling — Los Angeles has averaged 94.5 points a game through the first two games of this series. While Doncic has played well, LeBron James and Austin Reaves have combined to shoot 5-of-24 from 3 and have been held in relative check.

The No. 4 Denver Nuggets and No. 5 LA Clippers played another close thriller Monday, this time with the Clips grinding out a Game 2 win thanks to Kawhi Leonard's stellar performance. The series now heads to Intuit Dome for the first playoff games to played at the NBA's newest arena.
