The Minnesota Timberwolves capped a 116-104 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night on a 13-1 run. Anthony Edwards accounted for seven of those critical points for the Wolves as they surged in the final four and a half minutes to claim a 2-1 lead in their first-round series.

However, before the playoffs tipped off, NBA legend Magic Johnson poorly predicted the Pacers vs. Bucks series.
