The Los Angeles Lakers’<\/a> backs are against the wall.<\/p>\n

The Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> have a commanding 3-1 lead over the Lakers<\/a> as the first round series shifts back to Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles for Game 5. It’s now or never for the Lakers \u2014 win or go home.<\/p>\n

The Lakers led by as many as 12 points in their 116-113 Game 4 loss<\/a> to the Timberwolves on Sunday. Luka Doncic<\/a> had 38 points and LeBron James<\/a> added 27 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists, but the Lakers couldn’t hold off the surging Timberwolves. Instead of evening up the series, the Lakers dropped to 1-3. Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards<\/a> led the way with a game-high 43 points and nine rebounds.<\/p>\n

“Obviously you don\u2019t think about winning three. You think about just getting the next one.\u00a0That\u2019s the only thing that matters. … So it\u2019s all about Wednesday. That\u2019s what\u2019s important,” said<\/a> James, who has been in this position before. James led the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 3-1 comeback in the 2016 NBA Finals.<\/p>\n

Teams with a 3-1 series lead in the NBA playoffs have a 275-13 record. Will the Lakers live to fight another day or will the Timberwolves finish off the first-round series on the road? Here’s everything you need to know:<\/p>\n
