Minny have 18 offensive rebounds to LAL's 27 defensive rebounds so they are pulling down 40% of their own misses. That is helping keep them in the game on a night when their shooting is not good.

I don't know why LAL keep having Luka bring the ball up court.

(1) J McDaniels is pressuring him full court and Luka is wasting a ton of energy dealing with it.

(2) They are losing huge chunks of their shot clock. There is almost 12-15 seconds gone before they get into their offense. Luka just had a possession there where he dribbled the ball for 22 seconds before missing a shot. Nobody else touched the ball.

Let Reaves or LeBron bring up the ball. Then give it to Luka.

It is so strange because JJ Redick was actively avoiding this happen to Luka in several regular season games the Lakers played. He didn't want Luka getting worn down from full court pressure. Why has he suddenly abandonded that policy? It was a smart policy.

Oh my god. What a block by LeBron.

Back to back 3s and LA go from down 4 to up 2 with 1:30 remaining in the game.

I don't know why Ant wanted that challenge so badly. He slipped. LeBron got ball. It went out of bounds of Ant.

No foul.

Update: I was wrong. LeBron got wrist first. That above camera angled showed it clearly.

Good look for A Reaves from the buzzer. Can't ask for better than that. Just missed it.

Anthony Edwards the star of stars.

9reb and 6ast with 1blk. Only 1 turnover.

Outplayed Luka. Outplayed LeBron. Led his team to victory.

Man, Boston better win tonight or this is looking like an extra bad day for Celtics fans. The insane no-foul and NYK win, LAL looking unstoppable, and a Celtics loss might do me in

Oh, I am so happy to be wrong on LA. After an amazing 3rd quarter, they totally blow it in the 4th. Can?t believe Minny gave up an open 3 from the corner at the end there, but what a great win by them

That was an incredible end to the LAL vs Minn game.   Both teams hit big shot after big shot.

LOL Lakers may be first round exits!

And also, I'm glad to see Minnesota actually being smart. Doncic has 38? No problem. ATTACK him on defense. Same with Reaves. They are just killing those two and taking advantage, and Doncic continues to look winded by the final minutes of the game because he has to work both ends
