The Lakers (1-2) and Timberwolves (2-1) will square off in Game 4 at Target Center in Minneapolis on Sunday, with the visitors looking to level this Western Conference first-round playoff series.
Even with LeBron James delivering a vintage, powerhouse performance, the Lakers couldn’t avoid a gut-wrenching loss in Game 3 on Friday, falling 116-104 to the Timberwolves.
Los Angeles found themselves chasing the game for most of the night, leaning heavily on LeBron’s heroics, including a flurry of three consecutive triples in the final quarter to keep hope alive. However, turnovers proved to be the Lakers’ undoing, coughing the ball up 16 times and handing Minnesota 28 easy points in the process.
Anthony Edwards slammed the door shut in the fourth, coming up clutch with a string of critical plays, capped by a dagger three-pointer with just over a minute left to stretch the Wolves’ lead to nine and ice the contest.
Lakers’ star Luka Doncic battled through a stomach bug and struggled to find his rhythm on the court. The good news? He’s expected to be back at full health for the next outing, and with his bounce-back potential, a big scoring night could be right around the corner.
