In this season and last, the Timberwolves are now 1-4 in games that Anthony Edwards is unavailable. A valiant comeback effort fell just short on Wednesday against the Lakers after an Austin Reaves’ runner in the lane at the buzzer secured a one-point win for LA.
It was a tough loss for Minnesota as they are now 2-3 on the season. It also continued a trend of close losses with Edwards sidelined, as they also lost 2 one-possession contests last season without their 24-year-old superstar.
Tough loss on Wednesday
Some fans at the Target Center left the arena early in hopes of beating traffic on Wednesday.
