The No. 3-seeded Los Angeles Lakers will face the No. 6-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs.

But of course, it won't be a cakewalk against Minnesota, with Anthony Edwards continuing to take his game to the next level. He's also surrounded by ample talent, including Julius Randle, Rudy Gobert, Naz Reid and Mike Conley Jr.

The Minnesota Timberwolves ’ final game of the 2019-20 season came on a spring night in Houston. Like most games that year, they went meekly, falling to the Rockets 117-111 to finish 19-45 in the COVID-19-shortened season.
