The Timberwolves had a lot to work on after a frustrating Game 2 in which an aggressive Lakers defense threw them for a loop. They responded with a night of 48.4% shooting (13-of-36 from deep) and only eight turnovers, compared to 16 from the Lakers.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has added his name to another category in the records book. The veteran superstar scored his 35th point in Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves on a 3-pointer midway through the fourth quarter, producing the highest scoring performance by a 40-year-old player in a playoff game.
