Anthony Edwards goes full beast mode as Minnesota slams the door shut on the Lakers’ playoff dreams.
The Timberwolves just handed the Lakers a one-way ticket to Cancun, beating them 103–96 and sending the City of Angels straight into summer vacation planning.
Anthony Edwards looked like he was fueled by pure chaos and Gatorade, putting up buckets and swagger that had the Lakers looking like confused tourists. Every time LA tried to claw back, Ant-Man just hit turbo mode and flexed on them.
LeBron James did LeBron things — big shots, big passes, big sighs — but even the King can’t build a castle without backup. D’Angelo Russell went colder than Minnesota winters, and AD spent more time on the floor than a Roomba.
Karl-Anthony Towns decided to throw a mini-block party in the paint, while Mike Conley casually aged backwards again with clutch threes and dad-strength defense.
The Wolves’ defense made the Lakers’ offense look like a group project gone wrong, and by the final buzzer, the only Hollywood ending was rolling credits for LA’s season.
Minnesota wins the series and now marches on, probably howling into the night like it’s Fortnite lobby music. Lakers fans, therapy is in session.
