Honestly Wolves should have had more fouls called on them, playing stupid and rough

The smarter route. Test if you have a shot at a comeback early 3rd and if not, pull those starters early if this lead goes up to 25-30 pts. Rest your starters and key players and look forward to being healthy in this expected long series (could go 7)

Might be time to cry uncle on this game, put in the bench the rest of the way.

Wolves like to play physical but hate when teams match their energy.

Re: 2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #3 LA Lakers vs #6 Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN leads 1-0)
If you would have told me after game 1 Reid would have 4 early fouls. I would have said no doubt about it.

Re: 2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #3 LA Lakers vs #6 Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN leads 1-0)
I'm not even looking at the screen, and I can tell it's rigged.  
 
"Lots of blows to the face."
"Conley is acting there."
"That little shove got him the space."
"That's three fouls on Reid."
That's from like a one-minute sample.

Re: 2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #3 LA Lakers vs #6 Minnesota Timberwolves (MIN leads 1-0)
Better get this lead up to 30. Because the refs are doing everything to help extend the lead.
