Austin Reaves was far from the only player on the Los Angeles Lakers with a less than stellar performance in Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team as a whole just didn’t step up and were dominated on both ends of the court in a disappointing playoff opener in front of their home crowd.

The Los Angeles Lakers are heading into their first postseason with Luka Doncic at the helm next to LeBron James, and are expected to have a real chance to compete for a championship.
