The Los Angeles Lakers played a game of basketball against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday at Target Center. They lost that game 108-86, dropping them to 21-19 on the season and 1-5 without LeBron James.
I could try and break down why it is they lost the game or the adjustments they could make ahead of their matchup with the Dallas Mavericks on Monday, but if we’re being honest, there’s really no point. The Lakers are missing three of their most valuable players and the players that were supposed to step up in their absence haven’t.
