Especially in the first game, the fact that the Timberwolves scored easily revealed the Lakers' defensive weaknesses. Dallas was a more complete team. Although the Lakers won the second game, Dallas looks like a more complete team. Luka Doncic contributed greatly to the Lakers' victory in the second game, and I expect more contributions from LeBron James and Austin Reaves in the upcoming games. The limited contribution of the reserve players is another problem for the Lakers, though.
It will be same story on Game 1 with Wolves vs Lakers if Wolves manage to score efficiently since Edwards has a very low scoring game including McDaniels and other starter player because it’s still Luka scoring hard alone for Lakers whiles Wolves can’t answer.
They performed like a choker same performance last year against the Mavs on the western conference finals.
Lakers will have a hard time against Wolves of ANT will be unstoppable just like Luka.
