Timberwolves Upset Lakers, Advance in Playoffs | JQJO

The Minnesota Timberwolves upset the Los Angeles Lakers in five games, advancing to the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs. Rudy Gobert led the Wolves with a career playoff-high 27 points and 24 rebounds in the series-clinching Game 5. Despite poor three-point shooting and a subpar performance from Anthony Edwards, the Timberwolves' victory eliminates the Lakers and their LeBron James-Luka Dončić duo from postseason contention. The Timberwolves will next face either the Golden State Warriors or the Houston Rockets.
