Anthony Edwards talked trash to Luka Dončić before Tuesday's Game 2, but the Los Angeles Lakers superstar got the last laugh. Dončić led the Lakers to a 94-85 victory over Edwards' Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday at Crypto.com Arena to even their Western Conference playoffs first-round series at one game apiece.

The Timberwolves guard received the ball at the top of the key from Julius Randle early in the third quarter, then drove toward the basket. There to meet him was Lakers center Jaxson Hayes. Edwards elevated over Hayes for a powerful two-handed jam.

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has already taken heat for his actions in the team's playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers, then generated some new controversy before Game 2 even tipped off.
