The Los Angeles Lakers did not look good in their first postseason game this past weekend. At all.

"We have to do a lot of things better, and it starts with playing harder and being more organized," he said, via The Athletic's Jovan Buha.
But it wasn’t just that they weren’t calling the right plays or didn’t know what was coming their way from the Timberwolves, he explained.
