00:00Minnesota entering the fourth game of this opening round set with a 2-1 series lead.
00:05Minnesota leaves game number four, up three games to one.
00:09After a sensational playoff performance from the Ant-Man, Anthony Edwards.
00:1443 points to lead the T-Wolves to a 116-113 win.
00:21Minnesota covers as a two-and-a-half point home favorite by the hook.
00:2516 points from Ant in that fourth and final quarter of DRS.
00:29Good enough to lead on that fourth quarter rally against L.A.
00:33The Lakers led by double digits, 94-84.
00:37Entering those final 12 minutes, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, and the T-Wolves had other ideas.
00:43They take a commanding 3-1 series lead over Luka and LeBron and the rest of the Lakers.
00:50And also, you're taking a look at a lot of veteran players playing a lot of minutes for the Los Angeles Lakers.
00:55He's talking about Luka being gassed at this point.
00:58And maybe he is because he's playing 46 minutes, shooting 28 times from the floor, 5 of 12 from three-point range, 7 of 7 from the free throw line.
01:06But here's the issue as well.
01:07Like, Luka Doncic, when he's at his best, is triple-double city, right?
01:1122 points, 12 rebounds, 13 assists, and away you go.
01:16Did you see his assist line in that game, Ben?
01:17Two, which means he's got to do everything himself to try to help out the Los Angeles Lakers, as opposed to sitting back and being just a facilitator, which is when he's at his best, scoring and assisting, distributing around.
01:29The problem I have now with the Lakers is, where do we go?
01:32Because the issues continue to come up was, all right, we lost Anthony Davis, but we got back a sensational player.
01:38We have to try to find somebody who can play center for us, give us quality minutes that we can trust.
01:43And now we're getting Dorian Finney-Smith playing 41 minutes in a playoff game.
01:47It's kind of wild the way it works out, but you can't be great at every position.
01:51I'm just shocked that the Lakers are in this position right now, because if we're telling ourselves, LeBron's healthy enough to play 45-plus minutes, so is Luka, we should be winning games, not being down 3-1 in a series right now.
02:03That's the shocking part to me, Ben.
