The Los Angeles Lakers find themselves on the brink of elimination after a crushing 116-113 Game 4 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite Luka Doncic dropping 38 points and Austin Reaves adding 17, the Lakers blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead, leaving fans frustrated and exhausted.
Both Doncic and Reaves echoed a similar message postgame: the Lakers must stay locked in and finish strong. “We can’t relax,” Luka said, while Reaves emphasized the need to “get good looks every possession” and maintain focus. Head coach JJ Redick’s decision to ride his starters for the entire first half — a first in NBA playoff history — backfired, with fatigue setting in late.
Anthony Edwards’ 43-point masterpiece only made the Lakers’ collapse hurt more. Now, with no margin for error, the team has no choice but to respond — and fast — if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.
