The Los Angeles Lakers witnessed a flash from the past on Sunday, thanks to Luka Doncic and LeBron James. In a playoff showdown against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the dynamic duo poured in 43 of the Lakers‘ 58 first-half points. James dropped 22 points while Doncic added 21, making them the first Lakers teammates to each score 20 or more points in a playoff half since the legendary pairing of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal back in 2002.
It was a moment that not only electrified the crowd but also reminded fans of the franchise’s glorious history. Matching an iconic record once set by Kobe and Shaq is no small feat, and it speaks volumes about the firepower Doncic and James bring to the court.
Luka Doncic can’t believe how the referees have a lot more preference for the Timberwolves
Timberwolves respond but Lakers show resilience
Despite the offensive outburst from their stars, the Lakers still found themselves trailing at halftime. Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle came out firing for Minnesota, combining for 40 points by the break. Randle was particularly lethal from beyond the arc, hitting three three-pointers to help the Timberwolves hold a slim lead.
However, the Lakers were far from finished. They opened the second half with a blistering 14-0 run, flipping the momentum in their favor. The fight displayed by the Lakers showcased the grit and determination that could prove pivotal as the series progresses.
Keeping hopes alive in a crucial series
The Lakers entered the game down 2-1 in the series, needing a spark to avoid a deeper hole. Thanks to the heroics of Doncic and James, they not only kept pace but sent a strong message that they are far from done. As the series heads back to Los Angeles for Game 5, the confidence within the Lakers‘ locker room seems to be building.
If Doncic and James can continue their scoring assault, the Lakers‘ chances of advancing suddenly look a lot brighter. After all, when your stars are making history alongside the names of Kobe and Shaq, good things tend to follow.

Pála nominoval na svou derniéru. Bez hvězd, ale s kometou Valentovou!
České tenistky nezvládly letošní ostravskou kvalifikaci o postup na finálový turnaj do Číny. Už tam neměl Pála k ruce hvězdy Barboru Krejčíkovou, Markétu Vondroušovou, Karolínu Muchovou ani Kateřinu Siniakovou. Nyní navíc chybí i Marie Bouzková.„Řada holek je zraněných, hodně se jich omluvilo, že se potřebují doléčit, jak skončí sezona. Nechal jsem tam ještě jedno volné místečko, kdyby se cokoli změnilo nebo posunulo. Chci, aby tým byl pětičlenný, jaké jméno to bude, to ještě uvidíme,“ vysvětloval Pála, nejúspěšnější kapitán v dějinách ženské týmové soutěže. K triumfu vedl Češky šestkrát (2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016 a 2018). Po změně formátu a názvu na Billie Jean King Cup ale úspěšné období skončilo.Padesátiletý Pála po této sezoně končí na své pozici a role kapitánky se ujme bývalá úspěšná členka týmu Barbora Strýcová, která v Chorvatsku také bude. „Cíl je jasný. Člověk to chce předat co nejlíp na další rok. Jen první místo nám zaručí, […]
