Don’t make show starting lineups. There is a tweak in the starting lineups. Jackson Hayes is out. Dorian Finny Smith is in. That’s the small lineup. That’s what sometimes it’ll happen to you. Re Yes. Here’s Ruy. Ruy all the way and he throws it down on Gome. Now tries a three. Good box out by Todd but stolen by Ruie. Here’s Nquille Alexander Walker. Good rebound taken away from Dez. Hey, great pass. Well, I’m going to give you something to your attention. Please do. Look who’s he getting ready to check in for the Lakers since January and that’s Maxi Cleba who was acquired in the Luca Dodger. Good ball move to Reed. LeBron cutting to the basket.

They [Music] wanted Alexander Walker. But give the Minnesota Timberwolves credit. Edwards drive kick wide open. Two Lakers flying by and it’s an air ball with Randall with four with three over Randall who bailed him out by six in that regard. underneath LeBron. Throw it down with two hands. Well, he went around nodding way short by Randall. Took yet another offensive rebound and it might be shots, but it’s a little misleading cuz he did shoot 18 free throws. Now LeBron, they’re moving it to Nas Reed. Nas stolen up ahead. Austin score. LeBron tipped it and then went over and got it. Up ahead now for Vincent. Here’s LeBron all the way to score. Vincent cutting Vanderbilt. Blocked by Go Bear. Foul by Goar. 20 plus points at eight straight playoff games for Edwards. Ruy got it. With him again trying to go around maybe get him another foul.

Luca wanted to go down the middle. Instead, it’s that easy. He does it. Step back. Two players from Minnesota. Go and Edwards. will skip past looking create a little magic here at the end of the half. LeBron big steps clear the way and half to play in the quarter. Reed, he looks to attack. Here he goes all the way to score the floor also. He’s very slow getting up. They’ve got him bottled up. Jump ball. Cross over to Dantic. He’s going to go to the all the way and he’s fouled. That was that was awkward initially. His hands are straight. Trigger on the floor is a potential flaker foul. After review, Devanchenzo makes contact. It was a normal a legitimate play on the ball. Out of the game, so they’re going to have to ride him for a minute. Although he’s not moving at all. I’m not sure that’s a march, but he’s going right back there right now. And you get a fresh Randall and a fresh McDaniels on the floor, but a first shot Swish. 4:30 Los Angeles time. Short clock. A LeBron going baseline. Got to get hot from three. Let’s see about becoming an issue again. Luca step back. Yes. Punch counter punch. And every time the Lakers land one, Minnesota comes right back but ruing here. Crypto.com Arena. Playoff time.

Here he goes. The lob. The jab. Ruy. The [Applause] finish for the lead. Finny Smith. Edwards. Backhand layup. Now rebound Lakers. They’re running. The third quarter tied up 79 apiece. That should be a hole. Alexander Walker. Nas Reed. Naz Reed can’t handle it. Little behind LeBron. Bounce baseline. Ruy, boy, he bumped right into Randall. Give him credit for some physicality. Naz Reed. Naz Reed in low with the left hand. Good defense that time by Ru. Halfway through in a full season. He’s never missed the playoffs. There’s a turnabout. Fair play. Be on target. But who else but Goar has the rebound. All LeBron has done goes LeBron. Yeah, LeBron. And everybody wondering if he’s going to get up but wait on it to shoot. Gets into his action now. Reed straight away got this one. Looks like the crowd. He says final Minnesota. One of his former teams. Luca Duchic. Foul. McDaniels. Luka knows that to Luca going on McDaniels. Got to shoot it and does and scores. Randall throws it up and misses. Rebound. McDaniels. Foul. Finny Smith. He’s out of the game. LeBron to tie the game.
