MINNEAPOLIS — Luka Doncic had more color in his skin Sunday, his body warmer than when he slowly hobbled out of Target Center Friday night in sweats Friday night. He’d felt miserable during Game 3.
“Virus,” he said. “Still have it.”
At least he was feeling better — even if things were looking worse for his team.
The Lakers played two games in Minnesota, one with a diminished Doncic and one without making a substitution in the second half, and had the same result. Both losses have put the team in an improbable spot, needing three-straight wins to keep their season alive.
