The Los Angeles Lakers fell 116–113 to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday—bringing the teams' first-round playoff series to 3–1, Wolves—but things could have been different had it not been for a successful late-game challenge from Minnesota.

Instead, it was the Minnesota Timberwolves spoiling James' 38-point gem with a 116-104 victory in Game 3 behind a career night from Jaden McDaniels and another potential torch-passing performance from Anthony Edwards -- who could be on his way to his third dethronement of an all-time great in the past two seasons.
