The Los Angeles Lakers' postseason that started with so much promise is over after just five games. The Lakers lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 103-96 on Wednesday as star Luka Dončić fought through an apparent injury but didn't have enough to will his team to victory.

Although NBA executives want LeBron James to remain their standard-bearer, Anthony Edwards is poised to take this position with or without their approval.

Edwards did not rest either. Seeing James and Dončić start to breathe heavy and put their hands on their knees during timeouts only made him go harder. He kept coming at them and coming at them, and it was the two stars who tapped out, not The One.
