The Timberwolves head home to Target Center to face the Los Angeles Lakers for Game 3 of their NBA Playoff series on Friday. Here's how to watch tip-off.

Minnesota still has no answer for Luka Dončić and the Lakers prove they can match the Wolves' style in a physical, series-tying victory in Game 2.

In this case, it was Houston Rockets governor Tilman Fertitta trolling the Dallas Mavericks for the "dumbass" decision to deal their superstar point guard to the Los Angeles Lakers during a recent visit to the White House. The comment came when Fertitta was speaking to the Houston Cougars men's basketball team at their championship celebration.

Luka Doncic being a Los Angeles Laker remains the talk of the NBA over two months later, as people can't believe that the Dallas Mavericks would be dumb enough to trade a then 25-year-old five-time All-NBA selection for a minimal return.

The Lakers trade for Luka Doncic still has people questioning Mavericks GM Nico Harrison, including Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta.
