The Los Angeles Lakers are now just one game away from playoff elimination after the Minnesota Timberwolves fought back from a 12-point deficit at the end of the third quarter to take a 116-113 victory at home in Game 4.

The Los Angeles Lakers fell 116–113 to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday—bringing the teams' first-round playoff series to 3–1, Wolves—but things could have been different had it not been for a successful late-game challenge from Minnesota.

Another loss on Sunday would put L.A. in a deep 3-1 hole, which is why LeBron James came to Game 4 with a clear mission in mind. The NBA's all-time leading scorer went off in Game 3 for 38 points, and he kept his foot on the gas on Sunday.
