Anthony Edwards talked trash to Luka Dončić before Tuesday's Game 2, but the Los Angeles Lakers superstar got the last laugh. Dončić led the Lakers to a 94-85 victory over Edwards' Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday at Crypto.com Arena to even their Western Conference playoffs first-round series at one game apiece.

The Minnesota Timberwolves cruised to a dominant 117-95 win over the Lakers in Game 1 of their opening-round playoff series. While it's unlikely the series will continue to be this lopsided, the Lakers clearly have some work to do if they are going to avoid another first-round playoff exit.
