Visiting Japan for me. So no games today. Will watch the replay tonight. Go Wolves!

Game is being hosted in Minnesota, and it's still blacked out for me in Southern California. Only online stream with Minnesota broadcasting has horrendous motion smoothing. Garbage!

Anthony Edwards has been pretty terrible the past few games. Just sloppy basketball.

Three turnovers and the first quarter isn't over yet. 2/6 from the field. Not good!

How many turnovers in 1st qtr for Ant? Need to play within team concept and himself and learn to throw a simple lob pass instead of throwing to the corner every time.

Pretty problematic how much better the team looks flow-wise when their offensive star sits. Been a trend this season.

Whining aside, LeBron looks super flat-footed out there. Father Time is starting to turn the tide on that battle!

I absolutely love when Julius Randle catches from 16-18 feet out. Feels like he is able to draw doubles a lot more effectively from that range, rather than having to drive into traffic.

It's not really that uncommon. We just aren't used to having stars of this magnitude in Minnesota.

Yes it's a back-to-back for Los Angeles, but it's encouraging to see us stacking positives lately.

It's cold in Minnesota, way to freeze the Lakers in the 1st half. Aside from those Ant turnovers, it's one of the best half I seen in a long time. Spot up shooters had open looks with time. Defense looks like last year. If we get this level of efforts from Randle on a regular basis, we will be OK. Gobert needs to solve Davis, he can't seem to stop Davis' fade away.

We get Micah this month!

Edwards sucks

Rudy Gobert is having his most dominant performance of the season. Just killing the Lakers on both ends.

Bad Randle show up again in 2nd half - no passing on offense and day dreaming on D.

Defense looks back

Good to see Donte DiVincenzo have a performance like this!

The plus minus is fascinating for this one.

Just about everyone is playing well except Ant tonight. It's nice to see a big win where Ant is not needed. Randle got to bottle what he did in the first half.

Pretty much confirms that the only person worse than Anthony Edwards at basketball tonight was LeBron James!
