"In that stretch from the start of the second through, four, five minutes to go in the third, we lost that stretch by 34. So, that's a blowout."
"Naz Reid feasted from the perimeter, going a perfect 4-4 from 3-point range in the period. His biggest basket came off a corner three."
The Lakers aimed to start their playoff campaign positively against the Wolves, buoyed by significant rest and star power. However, they were overwhelmed, losing 117-95, where the defeat felt more severe than the score indicated. The second quarter proved disastrous for Los Angeles as Minnesota's rebounding and perimeter shooting, led by Naz Reid, created a distinct advantage. The Lakers struggled with physicality and depth, an issue exacerbated by missing key players, ultimately leading to a frustrating night for fans and players alike.
