The Los Angeles Lakers are hungry! LeBron James and Co. hosted Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs in their home court for the first time since 2012, and it did not go according to plan. In fact, it couldn’t have been worse. LA was physically outmatched and outplayed by Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Jaden McDaniels and Ant-Man combined for 47 points. Meanwhile, Luka Doncic was the only bright spot for the Lakers, scoring 37 points; Apart from him, LA seemed lackluster and was caught off guard. This defeat should be enough to ring alarm bells in Southern California.
Dropping the first game of the series is never a good sign, especially if you’re the host. So, the Lakers must dust themselves off as they gear up for round 2 with Minnesota. As the Lakers prepare themselves for this high-intensity game two, their superstar, LeBron James, has a stern warning for the Lakers’ bench. “Ultimately, a role player can win or lose you a game. And when it comes to coaching and you get from one round to the first round, second round, conference finals, finals, there’s certain guys that can win you a game.” James stated in the latest episode of the Mind the Game podcast.
