The Los Angeles Lakers are now just one game away from playoff elimination after the Minnesota Timberwolves fought back from a 12-point deficit at the end of the third quarter to take a 116-113 victory at home in Game 4.

The NBA's L2M Report confirms that Luka Doncic was tripped by Jaden McDaniels with 33 seconds remaining in Game 4 of Lakers-Timberwolves. LA was trailing Minnesota by 1 point, and if a foul had been called, Doncic would have gone to the free throw line. pic.twitter.com/8ar7OMO6UK
