LOS ANGELES, United States: NBA superstar LeBron James’s bid for a fifth title in his 22nd season ended Wednesday as his Los Angeles Lakers fell 103-96 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in game five of their Western Conference playoff series.
The sixth-seeded Timberwolves, led by 27 points from Rudy Gobert, completed a 4-1 victory in the best-of-seven first-round series over a Lakers team that had surged to the third seed in the West after the stunning acquisition of Luka Doncic in February.
