However, Minnesota’s resilience proved too much down the stretch. Anthony Edwards once again showed why he’s one of the league’s brightest young stars, finishing with a game-high 36 points. His key three-pointer late in the fourth quarter gave the Timberwolves a critical cushion they wouldn’t relinquish.

LeBron James Delivers Heroic Effort in Losing Battle


While LeBron James carried much of the offensive load, he had significant support from Luka Dončić, who exploded for 38 points while playing the full 46 minutes alongside him. Rui Hachimura also chipped in with 23 points on efficient shooting. But it wasn’t enough to overcome a rough fourth quarter where Los Angeles was outscored 32-19. Their offense stalled late, struggling to generate quality looks against Minnesota’s aggressive perimeter defense and rim protection led by Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns.
LeBron James did everything he could to rally the Los Angeles Lakers back into it. With just under a minute to play, he converted a critical layup to cut the Timberwolves’ lead to one point. After a missed opportunity to take the lead, the Lakers were forced to foul, and Minnesota closed it out at the free-throw line.

Can LeBron James Lead a Historic Comeback?


Now down 3-1 in the series, the Los Angeles Lakers will need to win three straight games to avoid a first-round exit — a daunting task against a Timberwolves squad that has proven physical, relentless, and supremely confident. For LeBron James, who continues to defy time with his incredible playoff performances, Game 5 could be yet another defining moment in his legendary career.
