It probably won't be the Los Angeles Lakers in five like ESPN's Shannon Sharpe predicted, but there will officially be a Game 5 between the Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves, who split the first two games of their Western Conference first-round playoff series this week.

The first-round NBA playoff series between the LA Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves now shifts to Minnesota for Game 3.

After tying the series 1-1 with a Game 2 victory on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers will meet up with the Minnesota Timberwolves for Game 3 on Friday. This is the first game of the series in Minnesota, so the Lakers will look to steal a victory on the road to take a series lead.
