Jaden McDaniels scored a career playoff-high 30 points and spearheaded Minnesota’s stifling defense on an ailing Luka Doncic while sparking the Timberwolves in a 116-104 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers for a 2-1 lead in their first-round series.

Anthony Edwards already had his share of signature playoff moments, but the Minnesota Timberwolves star's performance in Game 3 of their first-round Western Conference playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers Friday night at Target Center in Minneapolis was perhaps his most impressive of his still incredibly young NBA career.

Minnesota leads the best-of-7 series 2-1. Game 4 is Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis. While Edwards was generating buckets, the Lakers were doing nothing of the sort on the other end.
