The Los Angeles Lakers are in a tough situation, as they are now just a loss away in the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs from getting eliminated by Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

NBA legend Magic Johnson was none too pleased after his beloved Los Angeles Lakers fell yet again to the Minnesota Timberwolves during the duo's first-round playoff series, this time in a dramatic 116–113 finish.

After the showing he put up on Friday night against the Timberwolves in Minnesota, it is a safe assumption that LeBron James is feeling pretty good these days. James' Lakers did not win Game 3 of their first-round series, falling, 116-104, but James himself was stellar.
