The Lakers are on the brink of elimination — and Anthony Edwards is the biggest reason why

MINNEAPOLIS — Exhausted, weary and frustrated, the Los Angeles Lakers are on the brink.

Elimination is staring them in the face, an unexpected development considering how well the LeBron James-Luka Donu010diu0107 partnership has worked in a few short months.

Elimination is staring them in the face because they couldn’t manage to scrape out one win on the road against a Minnesota Timberwolves team we can no longer describe as immature and unserious.

But most importantly, elimination is staring the Los Angeles Lakers in the face because Anthony Edwards pushed them there, because Edwards’ mental and physical stamina is greater than the two stars he stands across the way from.
