In an exhilarating and intense encounter, the Minnesota Timberwolves emerged victorious over the Los Angeles Lakers with a narrow 116-113 comeback. This win stretches the Timberwolves’ series advantage to 3-1. The team was propelled by Anthony Edwards’ remarkable 43-point performance, stealing the spotlight. Despite Luka Dončić putting up an impressive 38 points, it wasn’t enough to secure a victory for the Lakers.
In a surprising strategic move, L.A. coach JJ Redick opted not to make any substitutions throughout the entire second half—an unusual decision that likely played a role in the Lakers’ narrow defeat. The game remained fiercely competitive until the very end, with a pivotal challenge from Minnesota sealing their comeback and clinching the win.
