The Los Angeles Lakers find themselves on the brink of elimination, trailing the Minnesota Timberwolves 3-1 in their first-round playoff series. Despite holding a double-digit lead entering the fourth quarter of Game 4, the Lakers faltered down the stretch, ultimately losing 116-113.

After the Lakers' early playoff exit, LeBron James' future is uncertain. Will he stay in Los Angeles, retire, or move to another NBA team?

After failing to win either of their road games against the Wolves, the Lakers are now down 3-1 in the series. Every game is now a must-win scenario, and they’ll have to beat Minnesota three straight times to avoid elimination.
