Through two games against a rugged Minnesota Timberwolves squad that finished sixth in the NBA in defensive efficiency, the Los Angeles Lakers have scored 109.7 points per 100 possessions with Luka Donu010diu0107 on the floor — an offensive rating that would’ve tied the woeful New Orleans Pelicans for 25th in the NBA during the regular season.
That sounds bad! Until, of course, you look at what the Lakers have managed without Luka on the floor: just 90.9 points-per-100.
That is a sub-lockout-season Bobcats and mid-Process Sixers-level of woof ….
