Back at the place we've lost 3.... Can we overcome the homecoming let down? This should be an easy win if we come out showing the same energy as the last 3.

For some reason the odds were even yesterday according to ESPN but it's up to -11 today. I guess someone needed to know if the Lakers were planning to go out on a Saturday evening.

Lakers haven’t lost to an under .500 team yet, but feels like the first game back after a road trip and right before a long road trip might be a trap game.

It really shouldn’t be that close if the Lakers show up.

It’s just so nice to be this good again. I’m not going to lie for a little bit I wondered if we would ever have a good team again. So grateful for this team and season thus far.

Once again, our size in the front court has another team in match-up trouble. Keep pounding the paint.

Wolves transition D is horrendous lol. Good luck stopping AD's rim run with midgets guarding him. KAT needs to step up.

Towns gets his points but having your best front court player standing at the 3 point line all night puts no pressure on a defense. Now I know why his points doesn't translate to team success.

Cook, Caruso, KCP and McGee. A lot of streak shooters out there. Hope it's streak"ON" tonight.

KAT should be guarding AD.

Caruso and Cook having some issues staying with their guards. Other than that we've taken it to them. They have no answer for us in the paint.

We needed Kuz to step up there with that lineup, but don't think he even got a shot.
