A stomach illness contributed to Luka Dončić having his worst performance of the playoffs so far in the Los Angeles Lakers' 116-104 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 3 of their Western Conference series on Friday night.

LeBron James finished with 38 points, but Luka Doncic struggled to find his shot while battling illness in the Lakers' 116-104 loss to Minnesota in Game 3.

Luka Doncic was effective as usual in both contests, leading the Lakers with 37 points and eight rebounds in Game 1 along with 31, 12, and eight assists in Game 2. Meanwhile, LeBron James rebounded from a middling 19-point, five-rebound performance in Game 1 with a 21-point, 11-rebound, and seven-assist effort on Tuesday.
