NBA playoffs: Twolves, Bucks grab vital wins
The Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers delivered another spectacular game in the NBA playoffs. The game, played at Target Center in Minneapolis, was a balanced affair.
Both teams held the lead at various points. What's more, the first and only time the lead exceeded nine points was on the very last basket scored. Jaden McDaniels sealed the final score, 116-104 in favor of Minnesota, by hitting a three-pointer with 39 seconds left to play.
LeBron James, the star of the Californian franchise, put up 38 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists. With this result, the Minnesota Timberwolves lead the series 2-1. The next game will also be played on Sunday at the Minneapolis team's home court.
In another game, the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Indiana Pacers, 117-101, after the Indiana franchise had won the first two games of the series. Damian Lillard scored just seven points, with the win largely attributed to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Gary Trent Jr., who both scored 37 points. The fourth game of that series will also be played on the Milwaukee Bucks' home court.
