Third quarter archive
A victory for the Lakers would raise their record to over .500, and after three quarters of play they have put themselves in a great position to do so. They jumped to an 82-74 victory against the Timberwolves.
The Lakers came into the game with some residual motivation after the loss they suffered the last month those two teams met. We’ll see if they are willing to flip the script or if it will simply be more of the same.
