After a 124-120 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Lakers are now 2-5. I won’t spend much time on the game, but like I told you in my game preview, I was concerned about the team’s defense and rebounding while hopeful the team would be able to shoot the 3 ball well enough to keep pace with Wolves’ offense that ranks in the top half of the league…
On the latter, the Lakers did hit 36.4% of their 3’s (12-33) but most of the success came in the first half (7-14) with their shooting hands turning cold in the final two frames.
