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.

James had to step up big time with Luka Doncic ailing with an apparent illness. Doncic (17 points, seven rebounds, eight assists) wasn't terrible, but he was clearly limited by a mysterious condition that had him clutching at his stomach throughout the contest.
