Lebron questions fall against wolves after the loss of Lakers: ‘This game happens all the time’

The Minnesota Timberwolves are a victory before reaching a round of Los Angeles Lakers in the first round and achieved a win from 116-113 in the game on Sunday to bring a 3-1 series in the lead.

In a game that went back and forth for every 48 minutes, the Timberwolves were able to withdraw in the last 40 seconds due to a series of coupling games. At first Jaden McDaniels made a layup while he was dirty by Austin Reaves with 39.1 seconds to bind the game with 113-113. McDaniels hit the following free throw to give his team a one-point lead.

McDaniels played a close defense on Luka Doncic on the inbound after his free throw make, with the Lakers star stumbling on the middle square with a 33-second lead. Los Angeles had to call a break as the result of the piece, so that Lakers coach JJ Redick was noticeably annoyed on the sidelines.

“At the beginning, Luka was stumbled,” said Redick after the game to reporters. “It was an obvious journey. He not only falls by itself. We saw her again, he was stumbled.

Doncic also believes that he was stumbled.

“What do you think, do you think I was stumbled?” Doncic replied when he was asked for the play. “Oh yes, I think I was certainly stumbled. We had to call Timeout.”

After the timeout, McDaniels had theft on Lebron James’ passport with 30 seconds. When the Timberwolves wanted to contribute to their leadership in the last seconds, Anthony Edwards ran to the edge, but lost the ball and observed how he got off the borders with a 10.1 second lead. However, Timberwolves trainer Chris Finch questioned the call, who was inverted and decided as a foul for James.

James refused to climb the call and believed that he got a clean strip.

“The game happens all the time,” said James. “Hand is part of this ball. They say. I have the feeling that the hand was part of this ball. I was able to hit his hand on the ball, tore it out and pull out. I’ve seen this game before.”

Of course, Edwards did not agree to James’ claim.

“I knew that he fouled me because he knocked down very hard and beat my arm,” said Edwards. “It was a big envelope through the referees, we appreciate them.”

Since the Lakers were over the foul border, Edwards went into the Freiawurfinie and made both attempts to give the Timberwolves a lead of 116-113.

The Lakers called their last break after Doncic’s trip, so they could not push the ball forward after Edwards’ Freignlow. However, they were still able to get a good look to tie the game. The Timberwolves decided not to double three, with the Reaves being opened in the corner in the last seconds. However, his 3-point attempt with playable case was picked up shortly before the summer.

In the end, Edwards’ two made 43 points for him when he left the two top stars of the Lakers. Doncic ended with 38 points, while James had 27 points, 12 rebounds and eight templates in 46 minutes. But James did not score a goal in the fourth quarter of the loss.

“I dreamed of it all my life, be it football or basketball,” said Edwards about his performance on Sunday. “To be only in these situations, and now it goes against Lebron and Luka. Luka is probably the best young player in the game and LeBron is the best player who has ever played the game. I just try to prove that I heard and my haters and people who criticize me better than they think.”

James and Doncic also put on the loss of the Lakers great minutes, with everyone to look for 46 minutes. In fact, James, Doncic, Reaves, Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith played the entire second half of the Sunday game. It was the first time that a trainer played the same five players for a whole half of a playoff in the play-by-play era.

“It wasn’t planned, but we only made the decision at half -time,” said Redick.

In the first half there was also a drama. James and Edwards were a bit physical and exchanged some shovels during the game. Edwards admitted that he wanted to send a message.

“Just let him know that we are here. You don’t just get us around all night. I just try to be a pest to him out there,” said Edwards. “He is much stronger than me. So let him know that we will be here all night and I’ll be a pest on him.”

Edwards managed to do that on Sunday. Now he and the Timberwolves are 48 minutes away from securing a first round over the Lakers. You will have your first of three chances to end the series on Wednesday when the Lakers organize you for game 5 in Los Angeles.
