Entering the playoffs, more money had been wagered on the Lakers to win the Finals than any other team at multiple sportsbooks. That money will be staying with the house.

After a wild NBA season that saw the Los Angeles Lakers start slow, add Luka Dončić and eventually surge to 50 wins and the West's third seed, they were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. Behind a monster 27-point, 24-rebound performance from Rudy Gobert, Minnesota won 103-96 on the road to end the series in just five games.

The 40-year-old superstar said “I don’t know” when asked after a first-round loss to the Timberwolves how many more seasons he plans to play.
