Spurred by their tone-setting 40-year-old superstar, the Lakers defend their rears off to square their best-of-seven first-round series against the Timberwolves with a bruise-filled 94-85 win.

The Lakers evened their playoff series at 1-1 with a 94-85 win over the Wolves on Tuesday. The victory was accomplished with LeBron James leading the charge defensively. L.A. held Minnesota to 85 points, the lowest number of points scored by a Lakers opponent all year.
