Lakers star LeBron James led all scorers with 38 points in the loss. The 40-year-old James also played a team-high 41 minutes and carried most of the offensive load, with teammate Luka Doncic dealing with a stomach ailment.

The Los Angeles Lakers gave the Minnesota Timberwolves a real run for their money during Game 3. The lead went back and forth between the two teams till late in the fourth quarter, when Minnesota pulled away.

If this is the version of James that the Lakers are going to get throughout the postseason, they may have a tough time winning games. Their formula for success was built around James, Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves being an unstoppable offensive trio.
