Thanks to the loss, the Lakers recorded 12 wins and 9 losses. Minnesota, which has won consecutive games, matched its winning percentage by 10 wins and 10 losses.

The Lakers, who beat Utah in the previous day, suffered a devastating defeat due to their lethargy. LeBron James (10 points) suffered from extremely sluggish performance in the field battle (4/16), and Anthony Davis (12 points and 11 rebounds) was also not in his normal condition.

Minnesota’s ace Anthony Edwards (eight points) was sluggish, but other players played evenly and won. Julius Randle had 18 points and Rudy Gobert had 17 points and 12 rebounds.

The Lakers 토토사이트 꽁머니 ended the game 20-22 in a neck-and-neck race in the first quarter. However, the team started losing ground in the second quarter. Minnesota Twins had Mike Conley’s two 3-pointers, but Dante DiVinchenzo and Naz Reid also rushed to support the Lakers.

The Lakers suffered from LeBron’s turmoil throughout the first half. The Lakers, who gave Minnesota the upper hand despite Edwards’ poor performance, finished the first half 44-56.

Entering the third quarter, the Lakers had difficulty narrowing the gap due to the performances of Rui Hachimura and DeAngelo Russell. Randall led the team’s offense, while the outpots of Edwards and Nickil Alexander-Walker passed through the rim. The Lakers, who were frustrated during the offense, ended the third quarter 64-79.

Minnesota increased its score gap in the fourth quarter. LeBron, who was in poor condition, managed to reach double-digit score points, but failed to block Minnesota’s wave offensive. Minnesota, led by the bench unit, widened the gap by more than 20 points.

In the end, the Lakers raised the white flag early on. With 7:41 left in the game, LeBron and Davis headed to the bench, and the garbage time was held early. During garbage time, Minnesota rookie Terence Shannon Jr. entertained home fans with a one-man show.
