This year, Los Angeles secured the No. 3 seed and will face the No. 6 seed Minnesota Timberwolves (49-33) in the first round of the playoffs.
Very difficult opponent,” coach JJ Redick said about Minnesota. “They’ve played as well as anyone lately. They’re one of 4 teams in the Top 10 in offense and defense, so they present a lot of problems.”
Game 1 of the series will be played at Crypto.com Arena on either April 19 or 20.
Since joining the NBA in 1961, the Lakers have won 12 championships and made 54 playoff appearances.
