Jaden McDaniels was the standout player for the Minnesota Timberwolves, even battling it out against LeBron James blow-for-blow, but it was Jaden who won.

The production from McDaniels was necessary as LeBron James tried his best to put the Lakers on his back with Doncic battling a stomach bug. After looking every bit of 40 years old earlier in the series, James poured in 38 points with relative ease like he was still in his prime.

LOS ANGELES - Jaden McDaniels played a pivotal role in the Minnesota Timberwolves' comeback victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, securing a 116-113 win and a 3-1 lead in the first-round series. Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 43 points, while the Lakers face elimination in Game 5.

Minnesota's Anthony Edwards scored 43 points and made two free throws with 10 seconds left to secure a 116-113 win.

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.
