Another loss on Sunday would put L.A. in a deep 3-1 hole, which is why LeBron James came to Game 4 with a clear mission in mind. The NBA's all-time leading scorer went off in Game 3 for 38 points, and he kept his foot on the gas on Sunday.

The Los Angeles Lakers continue their first-round matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday afternoon, looking to tie the series up at two games apiece.

Instead, it was the Minnesota Timberwolves spoiling James' 38-point gem with a 116-104 victory in Game 3 behind a career night from Jaden McDaniels and another potential torch-passing performance from Anthony Edwards -- who could be on his way to his third dethronement of an all-time great in the past two seasons.
