One of the most talked-about moments came from Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook, who found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. With the game on the line, Westbrook missed a wide-open layup that could have put the Lakers in a commanding position. Instead, his misfire allowed Minnesota to seize the opportunity for a comeback. Adding to Westbrook’s woes, he was called for a foul on a three-point attempt from Timberwolves’ guard Nikhil Alexander-Walker, leading to crucial free throws that ultimately sealed the game for Minnesota.
