The Minnesota Timberwolves broke franchise records to win Game 1 upset against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Minnesota Timberwolves upset the Los Angeles Lakers and stole Game 1 on the road. This is a huge win for the franchise.
Anything that Anthony Edwards said clearly worked out to his Timberwolves teammate in training before the game. They looked extremely energetic against the Lakers.
If the Lakers don’t do this, Paul Pierce’s demands about LeBron James and Stephen Curry could be met.
The Timberwolves set a new franchise record with victory, and fans were surprised to see Minnesota gaining a big victory.

NBA fans were adamant about the Minnesota Timberwolves’ performance in X. One fan cried out, “LeBron is taking care of… there’s a new king in town.”
Another excited fan said, “Anthony Edwards is proving he is one of the future faces of the NBA. That’s good because the wolves crushed the Lakers.”
But as Lakers fans wrote, not everyone was impressed.
Another Lakers fan challenged the Timberwolves to attack lightning twice, saying, “They have to continue playing this way to win the series.”
“The next game, they rely on three and come out and get cold like hell,” wrote an annoyed Lakers fan who was looking forward to Game 2.

The Timberwolves needed a record 21 three-pointers to beat the Lakers tonight. But the Lakers were far from what they were in for tonight’s form.
JJ Redick will try to prove that tonight is an ab station. To my surprise, it was the Austin Raves who made the Austin Raves just 5-13 off the field tonight.
Game 2 is only a few days away and the Lakers have little time to regroup and assess where they’re going. But winning in Game 2 is very important.
The Lakers have an incredibly talented roster. But that wasn’t a problem tonight. If anything, it was their efficiency. And that doesn’t become a problem in Game 2.
