The sixth-seeded Timberwolves beat the third-seeded Lakers, 117-95, on the Lakers' home floor. Anthony Edwards played a huge role in the Timberwolves' dominance, scoring 22 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists in 35 minutes of game action. Edwards didn't beat the Lakers single-handedly, but he set the tone for how the Timberwolves routed them.

One of the questions asked was, "Five years from now, who will be the face of the league?". There were 138 votes cast, and Edwards came in second on the list. Ahead of him was Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs.

So far in their first-round playoff series versus the Timberwolves, the Lakers have done a pretty good job of containing Anthony Edwards.
