Something strange happened early in the fourth quarter of Friday's Game 3 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves. With around eight-and-a-half minutes to play in the final frame, Rui Hachimura lost the ball.

The Los Angeles Lakers dropped a critical road contest to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night as the T'Wolves took a 2-1 series lead with a 116-104 win at the Target Center.

It has been announced that Game 3 has been delayed. The game will now tip off at 8:53. It's a little strange that the game is starting even later than it was supposed to, but that's what's happening. That gives the Lakers a little bit more time to get warmed up for a critical game.
