For about a quarter and a half Tuesday, the Wolves languished. Nothing else that happened matters as much as this: They’ll play three of the next four games at home.

Luka Doncic dominated the Minnesota Timberwolves with his sensational inside-out game, pouring in 31 points to help the Los Angeles Lakers tie the first-round playoff series at 1-1.

The national pundits may be singing the praises of the Lakers Wednesday morning, but the true takeaway from Tuesday night's Game 2 is the Wolves played a lousy game and still had a chance in L.A. Expect better in Game 3 at Target Center.
