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.

Spurred by their tone-setting 40-year-old superstar, the Lakers defend their rears off to square their best-of-seven first-round series against the Timberwolves with a bruise-filled 94-85 win.
