Anthony Davis laid things out plain and simple for the Lakers after a 107-83 loss to the Timberwolves on Friday: They are not a championship team—at least at the moment.
"We got to decide who we want to be," Davis said after the game. "A championship team? That's not us right now," Davis said. "We're not winning a championship the way we're playing. We got to be better, and we got to care more for our wins at home. Wins in general. That was embarrassing."
The Lakers took a five-point lead into halftime before being outscored 40-12 in the third quarter against Minnesota, which came into the game with the third-fewest wins in the Western Conference.
