2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #3 LA Lakers vs #6 Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN leads 1-0)

Trouble in paradise

[Handlez]

Luka and the Mavs would be contending for a title right now.

What a turn of events.

[Badlands]

The Lakers are shooting 22% on 2 point shots.

[jehosafats]

LAL got this

Naz is like half man half amazin.

I think the lakers will still win this game. Wolves aren’t gonna be this hot in the second half imo.

You mean playing good defense and getting wide open looks in transition?

They don’t have to work very hard to get these looks. Don’t forget they literally missed 3 or 4 layups in the first quarter and lakers haven’t been called for a single foul so far

This is best case scenario for lakers right now

The Lakers have struggled in the 3rd quarter this year. If that stands true this could get ugly.

[KGDirkTD_Fan]

curious if Lakers can run high intensity on both ends in a 7 game series. Bron looks exhausted already. As windhorst said, need to share the load.

[sp6r=underrated]

Lebron's legs are such a factor. When he has the young legs they can handle this Wolves team but when his legs are dead like tonight LA is very beatable.

[durden_tyler]

When wolves win this series handily people will have to explain what made them think lakers were ever serious contenders

They are too small and don’t play defense. What are people thinking?

Game is not over much more the series… i hate the Lakers too but they do have Luka…

Im really impressed by the Wolves defense, that's one area they definitely haven't lost even after losing KAT.

Still way too early to make anything of this lead as I expect Lebron to play much better in the second half.

[Obi-One]

9-1 FT differential, so it begins

[jokeboy86]

The T-Wolves half court offense is ugly to watch.

[Mk0]

impressive flop by Luka to get Rudy his 3rd foul

EDIT: the replay was hilarious, he jumped backwards and at an angle on a layup that had an open rim. That was some Trae Young sh#%

[Tracymcgoaty]

Either Reaves or Bron has to wake up for us to win. Luka cant do it all by himself. At least our role players are hitting their shots. But some pretty horrid play from both reaves and Lebron.

[Rubio9Guy]

Hey, a foul!

[Shaka_Zulu]

I admit i haven't watched the Wolves much this year but did not expect this.

It's just a 10t lead?


Our first quarter was God awful?


We can defend and are athletic team, but our offense has been poor this game.

[Dez]

Luka definitely has Gobert rocked, had him on skates and overcommitted to nothing.

The foul call was ridiculous but Gobert was at sea.

[AussieCeltic]

There it is. 20 mins for the first Laker foul
