LOS ANGELES — Rudy Gobert had playoff career highs with 27 points and 24 rebounds, Julius Randle added 23 points and the Minnesota Timberwolves advanced in the NBA playoffs with a 103-96 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5 of their first-round series Wednesday night.

With the Los Angeles Lakers trailing by eight with one minute to play in the first half of Game 5 of the team's Western Conference first-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Luka Doncic drove to the basket and got tangled up under the hoop, falling awkwardly on a play that appeared to injure the star's back.

Here's what's next for the Lakers and the steps they can take toward building a title contender for the upcoming season.
