The Los Angeles Lakers absolutely needed to bounce back on Tuesday during Game 2 of their first-round series against the sixth-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves, and bounce back they did, with an ugly 94-85 win.

The Boston Celtics did it — they took a 2-0 lead over the seventh-seeded Orlando Magic in the first round of their 2025 playoff run with a 109-100 victory on Wednesday night.
