McDaniels had 25 points in Minnesota’s Game 1 win, and then on Friday night, he put up 30 on 13-of-22 shooting in Minnesota’s clutch win at home. This felt like a confidence-boosting win for the Timberwolves in front of a raucous Minnesota crowd.

Anthony Edwards does not back down from any obstacle in his way. At just 23 years old, the Minnesota Timberwolves, All-Star shooting guard has already had the pressure of being the "face" of the NBA dropped on him (even if he doesn't want it).

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.
