If LeBron James is playing through injuries in the playoffs, he's making sure no one knows anything about it. Asked by reporters about his groin and hip issues, James would only say "I'm available today" as the Los Angeles Lakers prepare to play Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night.

The Los Angeles Lakers grabbed Game 2 from the Minnesota Timberwolves to even the best-of-seven playoff series at 1-1. Now the scene shifts over to Minnesota for a pivotal Game 3, and the Lakers are going to really need a better effort if they want to win.

The Lakers were getting the looks they wanted offensively in Game 2, an encouraging sign moving forward in the series against the Wolves.
