Anthony Edwards talked trash to Luka Dončić before Tuesday's Game 2, but the Los Angeles Lakers superstar got the last laugh. Dončić led the Lakers to a 94-85 victory over Edwards' Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday at Crypto.com Arena to even their Western Conference playoffs first-round series at one game apiece.

Luka Doncic (37 points, eight rebounds, five treys) was singing the same tune in his post-game press conference. He blamed the same thing as James, with Doncic expressing his disappointment with the Lakers' level of play after the opening 12 minutes.
