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.

Per ESPN's Dave McMenamin, the Timberwolves' planning for this matchup involved limiting James in transition and force him to work a lot in the halfcourt with the belief he will "tire" himself out over the course of a long series.
