Via Jovan Buha of The Athletic: "Halftime: Wolves 59, Lakers 49 The biggest concern for LA -- aside from the deficit -- is the status of Luka Doncic, who left for the locker room with an apparent back injury. He has 12/5/4. LeBron has 10/4/3.
AR has 9. Rui Hachimura and Jarred Vanderbilt have been awesome." If the Lakers are able to win the game, the teams will return to Minnesota on Friday night.
