The Lakers coughed up a late lead in Game 4 to lose both games in Minnesota and arrive on the doorstep of elimination from the Western Conference Playoffs. Minnesota once again won the fourth quarter, 32-19, in Game 5 and Anthony Edwards delivered a timely superstar performance with 43 points on 12-of-23 shooting, nine rebounds and six assists. Luka Doncic bounced back in the losing effort with a team-high 38 points, but it wasn’t enough for a Lakers team that now faces the daunting prospect of a first-round exit.
