The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers (15-13) are in the midst of a difficult stretch of their schedule, and this will be the second game of a three-game road trip, as well as the second contest of a back-to-back set. They lost on Wednesday to the Chicago Bulls, 124-108, and it was yet another troubling loss, especially considering the Lakers were at full strength while the Bulls were without Zach LaVine.
Minnesota has the best record in the Western Conference, as well as the best defensive rating in the NBA. While it lost, 127-113, to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, it had won nine of its previous games coming into that matchup. Guard Anthony Edwards seems to be gradually developing into one of the league’s newest superstars, and the team may have figured out how to mesh big men Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns.
