If this is the version of James that the Lakers are going to get throughout the postseason, they may have a tough time winning games. Their formula for success was built around James, Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves being an unstoppable offensive trio.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar forward LeBron James and his team are set for Game 3 of the first round against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. The Lakers will look to take a 2-1 series lead and regain home-court advantage on the road.

Jack Black recreated a viral clip of LeBron James from the NBA playoffs back in 2020 where the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA title in the bubble.

While the first-year coach liked his team’s defense in downing the Timberwolves in Game 2, he believes it can control how it fares on offense in Friday’s Game 3.

The Los Angeles Lakers bounced back from a stunning 117-95 Game 1 defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves with a 94-85 win in Game 2. A big difference between the two games was the effort that JJ Redick's men put in on the defensive end.
