The LA Lakers suffered a devastating loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday in Game 4 of the playoff series. The loss has pushed them on the verge of elimination as it is a herculean task to progress from going 3-1 down and the statistics second the assertion. The history states that over 95% of the time a team progresses to the next stage after taking a 3-1 lead. However, the Lakers have the superstars who can pull off the unthinkable.
With LeBron James leading the squad and Luka Doncic delivering stand-out performances one after another, fans are hopeful of an epic return. Knowing that one more loss will end their campaign, the Lakers must go all guns blazing.
Doncic has been extraordinary, and he will likely deliver one more score of 30+ plus. LeBron James on the other hand is known as the biggest clutch player of all time and will most probably live up to the expectation. It is the bench, who will have to pull up the sox and come up with something inspiring.
The attention will be on Luka Doncic, and the Slovenian is cut out a motivated figure even after the heartbreaking loss against the Timberwolves. The star guard wants to take the daunting task on the chest and has defined as “It’s a fun challenge”.
The Lakers have to quickly forget the loss incurred in Game 4 and regroup for a must-win Game 5, which will be held on Wednesday. The home crowd at the Crypto.com arena will get behind the Lakers, thus the trailing team have some impetus. With all to look forward to, it will be intriguing to witness whether the Lakers will be able to soak in all the pressure and stage a return or will the Timberwolves rise to occasion and kill the tie.
