The Lakers are trailing the first-round playoffs 2025 series 1-2.
The first-round NBA Playoffs 2025 action between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Lakers has reached Game 4. The Wolves are leading the series 2-1, and are set to host the Lakers at Target Center on Sunday. While the hosts would aim to extend the tally 3-1, the 17-time champions would eye a comeback and even the series.
The previous game of the series saw LeBron James coming up with a vintage performance. He entered record books for dropping the most points by a 40-year-old in NBA playoffs history. James scored 38 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists. The 22-time All-Star and was shooting 13-of-21 from the field and 5-of-9 from three.
However, despite that, the Wolves, fueled by Jaden McDaniels’ 30 points, five rebounds, and one assist as well as Anthony Edwards’ 29 points eight rebounds, and eight assists outscored the Lakers 116-104. They clearly capitalized on Luka Doncic’s bad health, who was reported to be dealing with a stomach bug.
It is to be seen how the Lakers respond to the Wolves’ win. But before that, let’s see how the injury report looks like for both the teams ahead of a crucial game.
