In the Los Angeles Lakers' 117-95 Game 1 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, only Luka Doncic played up to his standards. After they fell behind by a wide margin, Doncic tried to spark them and ended up with 37 points, but it wasn't nearly enough.
It was bad enough that LeBron James had an anemic 19 points in Game 1. But Austin Reaves also contributed to the defeat by scoring only 16 points on 5-of-13 shooting after closing out the regular season in such strong fashion. Fourteen of his points came in the third quarter.
