I'm hoping the Lakers can make this competitive but it's a pretty big lead.

They made enough of a push I keep em in but they're on the floor for the start. IF they don't close the margin I'm punting on G1.

how convenient Anthony Edwards goes out due to an "injury" and the Lakers miraculously go on a huge run

The Wolves lost a 24 point 4th quarter lead to the Dame-less Bucks two weeks ago, so you never know.

Laker fans getting hyped in the arena. They got a chance to do something with this momentum.
