Magic Johnson is not held after La loses in Timbervolves

After Los Angeles Lakers Sent Packing at 103-96 match 5 Loss on Minnesota TimbervolvesLekers Legend Magic Johnson There was no sugar kapan. Taking on social media, five-time NBA champion delivered a brutally sincere estimate Why is his former team moving in the wound.

“Congratulations to my good friend of Minnesota Timbervolves, Superstar Anthoni Edwards and the entire team of Minnesota Timbervolves for beating my lachers and improving in the next round,” Johnson published on X (earlier Twitter). “The reason why the camps were lost because they played awful in defense, they were too small, and wooden are dominated by their color.”

Johnson’s taking is not a basis based on emotions. The numbers raise it.

In the game 5, Timbervolves cried the colored leisers, scoring 56 points low. Rudi Gobert is almost unstoppableWhich doubles 27 points to 12-15 15 recording and pulling career playoffs-high 24 jumps. The doctors, on the other hand, looked receptacle and overwhelmed, become outlasted 54-37.

The lack of magnitude was glittering in the whole series. With the departure of Anthony Davis before the playoffs, Lakers had no right protector at RIMAnd Minnesota took full advantage. While wooden vehicles struggled outside the port, leaving only 7-for-47 of three, their domination of the interior was more than enough to seal victory.

Defensively, Lakers could not be in progress. Whether these are slow rotations, a bad defense of transition or harassed in post, Los Angeles failed to contain Minnesota offensive rhythm. Anthony Edwards, although not light in the game 5, consistently drew double teams and created space for their teammates.

Offensive, Lakers had solid production from their stars. Lubro Doncic ended with 28 points, Lebron James added 22, and Rui Hachimura was at 23. years old, but as often the case was this season, it was not enough to cover up defenses.

Coming from Magic Johnson, criticism. Over its 13-year career with Lakers, Johnson is on average 19.5 points, 11.2 assists and 7.2 rebounds per game. He led a franchise on five championships and was a triple final MVP. His words carry weight in a world of purple and golden color.

While Lakers are going to outseason, the message is clear. Size, defense and internal toughness must be solved if this team wants to return to primary form.
