Despite a nasty loss, the Lakers can move forward with the prospect of LeBron James returning sooner rather than later.

Anthony Davis mentioned that the Lakers are terrible in the third quarter. He’s right.

Final: Wolves 107, Lakers 83
The Lakers drop to 7-6. After two steps forward with back-to-back overtime wins, this feels like a giant step backward. They were outscored 63-34 in an embarrassing second-half performance. The game ended in boos.

One thing all these LAL injuries has done: increased the minutes for some of the veterans that weren’t supposed to be on the court this much. Carmelo Anthony, in Year 19, played 37 min. vs. CHA and 38 vs. MIA, both OT games.

One theory for why the Lakers struggle so much to start third quarters. Halftime is in part for making adjustments, and with half the roster missing, it’s difficult for Frank Vogel to make tangibly significant adjustments. (Conversely, it’s easier to adjust against them.) AK – 12:14 AM

LAL opened the game allowing an 11-4 run, and the same lineup saw a 10-2 Wolves burst open the 3rd Q.
This one started with Westbrook getting stripped by Edwards, who pulled up for 3, and ended with Edwards picking off Westbrook’s wing pass, leading eventually to a layup. – 11:58 PM

Interesting that Vanderbilt only played the first 6 minutes and then did not come back in for the rest of the half.

The Pistons are shooting 39.6% this season, the worst by any team since 1960.
That’s more than SIXTY years ago. The Lakers were still in Minneapolis then.
They are also shooting 28.6% from three, the worst by any team in the last 20 seasons. pic.twitter.com/mTUWV2Cvln – 9:54 PM

Best half the Suns have played all year. A 19-point lead at the half. A tough Houston to Minnesota B2B for travel starting on Sunday so putting this one away would be helpful. – 9:04 PM

Frank Vogel had what appears to be a positive update on LeBron:
“His rehab is progressing nicely … this does not seem like it’s (going to be) an extended stretch.”
LeBron will miss a 5th straight game tonight, but Vogel added that he’s “Truly day-to-day.” – 8:50 PM

Chris Paul plays offense without getting called for fouls the same way Patrick Beverley plays defense without getting called for fouls.
Anyone else does that stuff, so many fouls. Impressive. – 8:25 PM

Keon Johnson officially has a left ankle sprain. He is out for tomorrow vs Timberwolves, though he may have been out anyway due to G League.
That’s where Brandon Boston Jr. and Serge Ibaka will remain.
Marcus Morris Sr., Jason Preston, Kawhi Leonard out as usual. – 8:24 PM

Bulls have NBA’s 6th-best ORTG, but with offense down across league, their 110.5 pts per 100 is just 0.1 better than their 21st-ranked offense in ’20-21
Bulls’ defense (103.3 pts per 100) also ranks 6th. NBA’s top 14 defenses all have better DRTGs than last season’s leader (LAL) – 8:00 PM
