These three keys will likely determine whether the Lakers will bounce back to win Game 2 against the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

The Lakers were outplayed on multiple fronts on Saturday and will need to adjust to Minnesota’s physicality and “control the controllables,” as LeBron James says, in Tuesday’s Game 2.

Going up against Dončić, James and Reaves, a crafty shot creator in his own right, in clutch time is a nightmare scenario for the Wolves. Those players are going to get good looks most times down the floor, especially from Dončić, who just has not been bothered by ace perimeter defender Jaden McDaniels.
