Naz Reid on a potential 6th man of the year award:

I asked Naz Reid if there was something about playing the Lakers here that he likes — the arena, the lighting, whatever …
“I just stand out in the light. I don’t know. I just go out there and compete each and every time I get a chance to play. It just happened to be on TV.” – 1:20 AM

Been doing this since the break, so what’s one last time:
#1: mathematically eliminated since MIN at DEN
#2: would require DEN/OKC losing out, LAC win out
#3: LAC has to win out, OKC lose out
#4: 2 Ws clinches top-4 even if DAL wins out

The Lakers lose to the Wolves, 127-117, to fall to 45-33 with three games remaining. Nice nights for Rui (30p on 11-of-17 6r), Hayes (19p on 8-for-9 10r 5s) and Dinwiddie (18p 7a) but not enough with no LeBron and an injured AD against a strong MIN team. – 12:18 AM

Something to watch: I wouldn’t be surprised if the Warriors punt Tuesday’s game against the Lakers. I’m sure they’d rather face the depleted Kings in the 9-10 game than the red hot Lakers, and it’s the first half of a back-to-back, so they’d have plausible deniability. – 12:17 AM

LA’s 4-game win streak is snapped as they drop to 45-34. No LeBron James and lost Anthony Davis after the first quarter. Tuesday’s game vs. Golden State will determine the tiebreaker and if the Warriors can catch the Lakers.
Up next: vs. GS on Tue. – 12:16 AM

LAL ultimately couldn’t overcome AD’s absence after the 1st Q.
Hachimura led the way on O, hitting 11 of 17 FG’s (4 of 5 3’s) for 30 points.
Hayes has a season-high 18 points w/a career-high 5 steals.
Russell and Reaves struggled on O, combining to shoot 9 for 33. – 12:11 AM

We’re seeing just how much the Lakers rely upon Anthony Davis especially defensively, as the Wolves are either scoring at will inside, or grabbing offensive boards when they miss.
LAL were up 4 when AD played, but are -16 (36-20) with him in the locker room.
Wolves lead 69-57. – 11:00 PM

at Warriors (42-35)
vs. Lakers (45-33) – 5:41 PM
Not even two weeks ago, the Pels (45-32) were looking at homecourt in the West. Now, they are trying not to fall to the 9-10 game in the play-in.
Today’s game at Phoenix (46-31) is massive.
After today:
at Blazers (21-56)
at Kings (44-33)
at Warriors (42-35)
vs. Lakers (45-33) – 5:41 PM

Last time Clippers had a matinee game here was two weeks ago today. 76ers dropped 41 points on them after looking harmless against the Lakers
Today! Same thing!
Cavaliers lead 40-33 through one quarter of play. 10:1 AST-TO ratio for Cavaliers, Evan Mobley with 11 on 5/7 FGs – 4:08 PM
