I’m going to keep this brief because, as it does sometimes, life has me a time crunch. The Lakers blasted the Warriors on Monday night, giving them their 2nd straight blowout win over the Dubs and has them generating some momentum out of the All-Star break after beating the Pacers last Friday. Tonight, the Timberwolves come to town and the Lakers will try to keep the train moving on the 2nd night of a back to back.
This game, more than anything else, will be about focus and energy. These things go hand in hand — the Lakers will need to be mentally sharp in order to keep their effort level where it needs to be.
