Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> star Anthony Edwards showed off his jumping abilities on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers when he put Jaxson Hayes on a poster.<\/p>\n

Minnesota was down by 15 points when Edwards took a pass from Julius Randle, gathered himself and attacked the basket. Hayes went up with Edwards but got absolutely hammered.<\/p>\n

Edwards had 25 points and six rebounds but it was not enough to steal another game on the road away from Los Angeles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Lakers won, 94-85, to tie the series at one game apiece.<\/p>\n

Luka Doncic led the Lakers with 31 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists. LeBron James added 21 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. Austin Reaves contributed with 16 points, five rebounds and five assists.<\/p>\n

“We looked at what we didn\u2019t do so well, which is a lot of things in Game 1,” James said. “We took it to heart, held each other accountable and had a much better result.”<\/p>\n

Lakers head coach J.J. Redick tore into the team during a timeout. He was heard on the TNT broadcast asking his players, “What the f—” they were doing.<\/p>\n

“I think tonight was just more about getting that urgency button switched back on,” Redick said afterward.<\/p>\n

Despite the highlight-reel dunk, Edwards said the Lakers\u2019 tough defense made it difficult for him.<\/p>\n

“The way that they\u2019re guarding us, when I catch the ball, they kind of go zone, and when I try to attack a gap, it\u2019s like three people,” Edwards said. “I’ve just got to make my decisions a little quicker, and we\u2019ll be all right.”<\/p>\n

Game 3<\/a> is set for Friday night back in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
