On Friday, April 25, the Minnesota Timberwolves took a 2-1 lead in their opening playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers. Minnesota had five players end the game with double-digit scoring efforts.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards was looking at the box score during his postgame media availability following their 116-104 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 of their first-round Western Conference playoff series Friday at Target Center in Minneapolis.

There weren’t many analysts who picked the Minnesota Timberwolves to beat the Los Angeles Lakers in their first-round playoff series. Shannon Sharpe famously said, “Lakers in five” when asked for his prediction.
