It’s been largely effective throughout the year. Edwards’ offensive rating during the regular season versus the Lakers was an abysmal 104 points per 100 possessions. He’s now had three assists or fewer in four of his six matchups with Los Angeles.

The Lakers were 19-22 away from home in the regular season, the only team in the top eight of the West to have a losing record on the road. They are 6-8 on the road since Dončić joined the team, not counting a season-ending loss in Portland in which the Lakers rested players.

For about a quarter and a half Tuesday, the Wolves languished. Nothing else that happened matters as much as this: They’ll play three of the next four games at home.
