Following the Los Angeles Lakers’ humiliating Game 1 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in their opening round series of the NBA Playoffs, they had plenty to think about. At the forefront was the level of physicality and how the Wolves simply out-toughed them.

Austin Reaves believes the Los Angeles Lakers matched the Minnesota Timberwolves' physicality after being punked in Game 1.

It was a much-needed bounce-back for a Lakers team that had looked out of rhythm just days earlier, and the win came despite strong nights from Julius Randle (27 points) and Anthony Edwards (25 points) on the Minnesota side. Following the game, a lighthearted postgame moment with Doncic and teammate Austin Reaves captured fans’ attention.
