I don't know how Lakers can win this game or even series if AR doesn't wake up at some point. 2 guys are not going to get it done.

How is this scrub Divincenzo missing uncontested layups? Talk about backbreaking momentum swing.

DiVicenzo or Gobert in a layup battle to the death. Who can miss the most?

Offensive rebounding saving Wolves ass from being down 20 right now. Defensive transition effort is atrocious, they're getting nothing from the role players, Ant is passive and Luka and Bron are hitting everything.

Gobert and Divivenzo must have the same trainer for practicing layups.

How is that close? I saw it on the first replay it hit bank first.

The Timberwolves role players need to step up. If they start producing this game gets tough for LA.
