It was 28-21 Lakers.

It’s been a 61 - 30 Wolves run

Hurts me to see the “second favourites “ getting demolished. It hurts so bad

Every talking head on ESPN, like 12 of them, all picked the Lakers in this series.

Think Lakers are realizing how much AD carried the defense. It's completely fallen apart without him.

Yeah, this game is over...
Defense wins draft lotteries!
Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

If I'm JJ I'm giving serious thought to resting Luka/Lebron. The former is banged up. The later is old as hell. I know it won't happen but I'd do it if it is 20 going into the 4th.
