The Los Angeles Lakers evened the series against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 on Tuesday night, but it wasn't the most comfortable victory. As things got close in the third quarter, frustrations boiled over for Lakers coach JJ Redick, who went on an expletive-ridden timeout rant to try and wake his team up.

The Lakers entered halftime with a 15-point lead over Minnesota. After trading baskets early in the third quarter, the Timberwolves started to shows signs of life on offense after Anthony Edwards drained a three and then hit a layup on the team's next possession.
