LeBron James made a strong return from a sore left ankle, contributing 29 points on 10-for-16 shooting, along with nine assists and eight rebounds. Supporting efforts from Austin Reves, who added 18 points, helped secure the victory for the Lakers.
Despite the Timberwolves' spirited effort, led by Naz Reid and Anthony Edwards, who each scored 25 points, they fell short against the Lakers' determined performance. The win was significant for the Lakers' playoff aspirations, bringing them within one game of the No. 8 seed, currently held by Dallas, and 1.5 games behind the No. 7 seed, held by the Kings.
