The Los Angeles Lakers were back on the road on Wednesday night, taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves in a rematch of last week’s victory at Crypto.com Arena.
Both teams looked a little different this time, however, as superstars Luka Doncic and Anthony Edwards were both out of the lineup. The Lakers continued to be shorthanded without LeBron James, Marcus Smart and others, but that didn’t matter as they played extremely hard and came away with a 116-115 victory on an Austin Reaves buzzer-beater to improve to 3-2 on the season.
With so many guys out, Jake LaRavia got his second straight start and kicked off the scoring with a triple.
