After a 104-91 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves that was highlighted by Pau Gasol’s celebration with Nick Young, the Los Angeles Lakers travel to Oakland to face the Warriors tonight. For the second time this season, the Lakers will play the Warriors on the second night of a back-to-back while Golden State will be well-rested once again.
