MINNEAPOLIS — LeBron James shrugged. He rolled his eyes. He complained to the refs. He hung his head.
There was no discretion Monday in Minnesota — everything you needed to know about the Lakers and their leading scorer was on display in big, bold letters.
Playing on the second night of back-to-back games, James looked as uncomfortable as ever in a Lakers uniform as he and his team failed over and over at the game’s simplest task — putting the ball in the basket.
Minnesota beat the Lakers 109-80 on Monday, their fifth loss in their last seven games.
