After a wild NBA season that saw the Los Angeles Lakers start slow, add Luka Dončić and eventually surge to 50 wins and the West's third seed, they were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. Behind a monster 27-point, 24-rebound performance from Rudy Gobert, Minnesota won 103-96 on the road to end the series in just five games.

LeBron James, who said earlier this season that he could remain elite through age 47, admitted he doesn't know how long he will continue playing after the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs.

In Game 5, LeBron James contributed 22 points, but the team struggled with early defensive lapses and inefficient shooting. The Lakers struggled to contain Minnesota’s inside presence, giving up 27 points and 24 rebounds to Rudy Gobert.
