With Luka Doncic and LeBron James leading the way, the Los Angeles Lakers bounced back in a big way to even up their playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

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.
