Lakers' Dorian Finney-Smith: Logs 41 minutes
Finney-Smith had six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, six assists and one block over 41 minutes during Sunday's 116-113 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Due to a brutal start by Jaxson Hayes, coach J.J. Redick rode with Finney-Smith for most of the night. Finney-Smith started the second half and didn't come out for any breaks. With the season on the line for Los Angeles, it's likely that Finney-Smith again plays a featured role in Game 5 next to Rui Hachimura.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Sees just four minutes
Hayes accumulated two points (1-2 FG), three rebounds and one assist in four minutes during Sunday's 116-113 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Hayes had a brutal start, picking up a couple of quick fouls and a technical. He never saw the floor after that, with coach J.J. Redick opting to go with a smaller lineup with Dorian Finney-Smith playing the entire second half. A lineup change could be brewing for Game 5 with the season on the line for the Lakers.

Lakers' Austin Reaves: Notches 17 points in loss
Reaves had 17 points (6-14 FG, 5-12 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 116-113 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Despite a solid stat line, Reaves had a difficult fourth quarter, hitting 2-of-7 from the field in that frame -- he also missed a potential game-tying three-pointer at the end of regulation. With the Lakers down 3-1, the series will shift back to Minnesota for Game 5 on Wednesday.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Hits for 23 in Game 4 loss
Hachimura finished Sunday's 116-113 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 23 points (9-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 41 minutes.
The 27-year-old forward came through with his best offensive performance of the playoffs so far, but it wasn't quite enough for the Lakers. Hachimura hadn't scored more than 11 points in any of the first three games of the series, and Sunday's five made three-pointers tied his season high, a mark he set Christmas Day against the Warriors.

Lakers' LeBron James: Teases triple-double Sunday
James ended Sunday's 116-113 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 27 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 15-18 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and three steals across 46 minutes.
The future Hall of Famer nearly produced his 29th career playoff triple-double, and his first since the 2019-20 postseason. James had to settle for his third straight double-double, and he's averaging 26.3 points, 9.5 boards, 5.5 assists, 2.3 threes, 2.3 blocks and 2.0 steals through the first four games of the series. James is now third on the NBA's all-time list in playoff double-doubles with 144, behind only Tim Duncan (164) and Magic Johnson (157).

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Pours in 38 in Sunday's loss
Doncic ended Sunday's 116-113 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 38 points (13-28 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal across 46 minutes.
The 26-year-old superstar led Los Angeles in scoring, but he couldn't match Anthony Edwards' 43 points. Doncic and the Lakers are on the brink of elimination, but it's through little fault of his -- he's topped 30 points in three of four games during the series, averaging 30.8 points, 7.0 boards, 5.0 assists, 3.5 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Out for Game 4
Kleber (foot) is out for Game 4 against the Timberwolves on Sunday.
The big man has yet to feature in the playoffs, and it's uncertain if he'll be able to suit up at any point during the postseason. Even if he ends up being available, he should operate as a backup in the frontcourt behind Jaxson Hayes. His next chance to play will come in Game 5 on Wednesday.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Non-factor in Game 3 loss
Hayes produced two points (1-2 FG) and one rebound over nine minutes during Friday's 116-104 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Hayes continues to be a non-factor, having now played fewer than 10 minutes in each of the three playoff games. He has scored a total of five points, and at this point, it's clear the Lakers will need to upgrade their center position if and when this season comes to an end.

Lakers' LeBron James: Vintage performance not enough
James produced 38 points (13-21 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 41 minutes during Friday's 116-104 loss to Minnesota in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
James put the Lakers on his back, doing a lot more of the dirty work due to the fact Luka Doncic was feeling under the weather. While Doncic still managed to play 40 minutes, he was clearly bothered, meaning James had to take control of the team. Despite scoring a game-high 38 points, it was not enough, as the Lakers came up short and fell behind 2-1 in the series.

Lakers' Luka Doncic: Limited due to illness
Doncic recorded 17 points (6-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Friday's 116-104 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Doncic logged 40 minutes despite coming into the game with an apparent illness. He was clearly bothered throughout the game, repeatedly clutching at his stomach. While his numbers were certainly above average, he was well below what we might expect to see from someone of his talent. The Lakers now trail 2-1 in the series despite winning the first game. The two teams will face off in Game 4 on Sunday, where the Lakers will be hoping for a healthier version of their superstar.
