Randle gets fouled and hit by Lebron but the refs make sure not to call a foul on Lebron.

I think we need 7 more Luka turnovers at half court before we switch it up

Lakers braindead. Wolves sending 2 to the ball should be an advantage. Nobody diving or cutting with purpose.

Good decision by DDV to pass that on the fast break, he’s been bricking everything. Lebron has put a hell of a lot in to this game so far, surely there’ll be a drop off in the 4th

Cornering yourself at half court over and over is certainly a choice.

Kinda like when Ant was mugging LeBron towards the end of the 2nd quarter?

Of course they’re not going to call a foul on the wolves drives but constantly call fouls on LBJ drives lol

Luka just doesn't have chemistry with the team yet.

“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

If it stays close I think Lakers lose due to Lebron and Luka being gassed having to do everything
