The Minnesota Timberwolves have the Los Angeles Lakers on the brink of elimination in the 2025 NBA playoffs. The Timberwolves are up 3-1 in the best-of-seven first-round series after a thrilling Game 4 win on Sunday afternoon in Minnesota.

JJ Redick opted to not sub out any players in the second half, as the Lakers fell just short of the win after a late foul on LeBron James.

Jaden McDaniels converted a three-point play with 39.5 seconds left for the lead and stole the ensuing inbounds pass from LeBron James in a rally by the Minnesota Timberwolves for a 116-113 win over the Los Angeles Lakers that put them up 3-1 in the series.
