Former New Orleans Pelicans center Kendrick Perkins didn't mince words discussing the Lakers' Game 4 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves

Lakers coach JJ Redick, while admitting that fourth-quarter struggles have been "a trend" for his team as it trails the Timberwolves 3-1 in their first-round playoff series, disputed that a fatigued second-half rotation was to blame.

The Lakers couldn't stop Anthony Edwards that day, as the superstar notched 43 points (12-23 FG, 5-10 3 PT) with nine rebounds, six assists, and one block in 44 minutes. The 23-year-old also had 29 points (12-26 FG, 5-10 3 PT) with eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and one block across 42 minutes in Game 3.
