Luka Doncic on one thing Lakers must do offensively moving forward
While the Los Angeles Lakers bounced back from a poor Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves to win Game 2, 94-85, they still have lots of work to do in this first-round playoff series. For one thing, they had their home-court advantage stolen in that Game 1 loss, and they will have to win at least one of the next two games at Target Center to reclaim it.
Offensively, they haven't exactly played well so far. They scored a decent 58 points in the first half of Game 2, but their offense ground to a halt afterward and only yielded 13 points in the fourth quarter. For the game, they shot a mediocre 45.3% from the field and a dismal 20.7% from 3-point range.
