🔥 Wolves’ Third Quarter Onslaught
The game turned in the third quarter as Minnesota outscored LA 35-22! Edwards (29/7/6) and Julius Randle (24/9/5) overwhelmed the Lakers’ defense with relentless pick-and-roll actions.
😱 Lakers’ Defensive Woes
LA had no answers defensively – they allowed 14 threes (43.8%) and got torched in the paint. Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura struggled mightily on the perimeter.
🚀 Bench Battle: Wolves Dominate
Minnesota’s bench outscored LA’s 38-22, with Naz Reid (18 pts) leading the charge. The Lakers’ lack of depth was glaring when LeBron and Luka rested.
💪 Edwards Closes Strong
The Wolves star scored clutch buckets down the stretch to seal it. “We protected home court,” said Edwards postgame. “Now we want more.”
🤔 Our Take
This was beautiful team basketball vs iso-heavy LA. 😤 But the Lakers MUST fix their defense or this series could end quickly…
🔮 What’s Next?
Game 4 stays in Minnesota. If the Lakers lose again, they’ll face elimination. Can they adjust in time?
