It’s been largely effective throughout the year. Edwards’ offensive rating during the regular season versus the Lakers was an abysmal 104 points per 100 possessions. He’s now had three assists or fewer in four of his six matchups with Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves are locked in a 1-1 tie in their first-round NBA Playoffs series, and now the action shifts to Minnesota for upcoming Games 3 and 4.

The Timberwolves found frustration immediately in Tuesday’s 94-85 loss but expressed confidence they can correct matters by Game 3 on Friday.
