Los Angeles Lakers: form and statistics

Before the start of the playoffs, the Lakers seemed to be the favourites in the series with Minnesota. However, in reality, things turned out differently, and now J.J. Reddick's team doesn't have many chances to make it to the next round. The team from Los Angeles burns 1:3 and now has to play for victory in all remaining matches of the series.

Much of the failure of the Lakers is due to the poor form of Luka Doncic, who had health problems in the third game of the series. In Game 4, however, the Slovenian again did well, scoring 38 points in nearly 46 minutes.

Minnesota Timberwolves: form and statistics

The Timberwolves have taken perfect advantage of the Lakers' shortcomings so far, winning home-court advantage on the road at the start of the series in Los Angeles and then maintaining it at home.

The fourth game of the series was particularly difficult for the Timberwolves. Chris Finch's team was stronger only in the end with only a three-point difference - 116:113. The difference was made by Anthony Edwards, who scored 43 points.
