Yet a disastrous fourth quarter saw the Lakers outscored, 32-19, leading to a 116-114 loss in Minnesota that puts their season on the brink. The Wolves now have a 3-1 series lead, and while Game 5 is back in Los Angeles, the Lakers must beat them three straight games--and Minnesota has not had a three-game losing streak since Jan. 4.

Jaden McDaniels converted a three-point play with 39.5 seconds left for the lead and stole the ensuing inbounds pass from LeBron James, leading a rally by the Minnesota Timberwolves for a 116-113 win over the Los Angeles Lakers that put them up 3-1 in the first-round series on Sunday.
