The Los Angeles Lakers are now just one game away from playoff elimination after the Minnesota Timberwolves fought back from a 12-point deficit at the end of the third quarter to take a 116-113 victory at home in Game 4.

The Los Angeles Lakers are going back to LA in a 3-1 hole to the Minnesota Timberwolves and facing elimination going into a Wednesday Game 5 in their best-of-seven series.

A critical sequence late in the fourth quarter proved costly for Los Angeles. With 36 seconds remaining, Doncic was tripped by Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels. No foul was called, leading to Lakers head coach JJ Redick calling out this miss by the officiating crew ( via Yahoo Sports ).

Edwards scored 14 points in the fourth quarter to go with four rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot to bring Minnesota all the way back for a 116-113 victory over the Lakers. The Wolves now lead the best-of-7 series 3-1, with Game 5 set for 9 p.m. Central on Wednesday in Los Angeles.

The Lakers must provide more resistance on defense and try to make Minnesota star Anthony Edwards work harder for his points again. Will a starting lineup change be their next adjustment?
