The Minnesota Timberwolves eliminated the Los Angeles Lakers with a 103-96 win in Game 5, sealing their first-ever back-to-back first-round series wins. Rudy Gobert led the way with 27 points, 24 rebounds, and 80% shooting—an NBA playoff first in a series-clincher.
Anthony Edwards, despite going 0-for-11 from deep, stole the postgame spotlight with his “Lakers in five” taunt. “We beat the best player ever,” he said, referring to LeBron James.
Minnesota now awaits the winner of Warriors-Rockets in the second round.
