Luka Dončić debuts his postseason showmanship in Lakers gold against a familiar opponent in Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves.

The rest of the crowded West played itself out Sunday, with the Minnesota Timberwolves capturing the No. 6 seed and setting up a first-round matchup with the Lakers. Several hours later, the league office announced the schedule for the opening weekend of the postseason.

For the fourth straight season, the Timberwolves have punched their ticket to the NBA playoffs, and after a run to the Western Conference Finals last year, expectations should be high.
