In March 11th, 2024. The Lakers finished the game with the Timberwolves

After the game, Davis talked about how the Lakers — winners of two straight — are starting to Һit their stride at the right time.

“I think we’re hitting our stride right now,” Davis said… “We’re just trying to keep going, keep pushing, knowing that just like last year, all we got to do is get in. We feel like it’s tough for anybody to beаt us in a seven-game series. … We like our chances against anybody at that point.”

After interviewing, Anthony Davis came back to the restroom, and his father gave him a surprise birthday cake, having an early celebration.

Defeating the second-seeded Timberwolves, who were missing Karl-Anthony Towns due to knee surgery, represented a significant victory for the Lakers as they strive to improve their position in the Western Conference standings before the playoffs commence. This win brings Los Angeles within one game of the eighth-seeded Dallas Mavericks and 1.5 games behind the seventh-seeded Sacramento Kings. Notably, the Lakers are scheduled to face the Kings on Wednesday, presenting an opportunity to further narrow the gap between the two teams.
