Those missed layups, and the 3-point attempt at the end of the game cost us the game.

JJ Redick calls out the refs "Luka got tripped. That was a blatant trip. He doesn't just fall on his own. We should have been at the free throw line. He got fouled"(h/t @ohnohedidnt24 ) pic.twitter.com/r4Kixc3eg5— NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) April 27, 2025

This is such a BAD look for the NBA Refs are literally rigging a playoff game 😭 pic.twitter.com/e4QkUB0xgb— LakeShowYo (@LakeShowYo) April 27, 2025

Refs definitely missed that kicked ball. Did we have a challenge or did Redick already squander it?

Luka stepped on his foot..that isn’t a trip and Redick looks foolish trying to claim it is

Aloha,
It was a hard fought game that we could have won. I think for me it boils down to 3 things.
1. Way too much dribbling in the 4 th quarter. The ball movement stalled out as we tried to win one on one.
2. No substitutions in the 4th. I really that fatigue set in down the stretch.
3. JJ never should have called that time out. It was a one point lead and a scramble underneath. It gave the TWolves time to review the play. I would have made the TWolves take a time out to challenge. Either you get the ball in and then call time out or worst case, you have a time out left to set up a play.
We are up against us now. The biggest concern for the Lakers coming into the series was our lack of a center. Which came back to bite us in the butt. The TWolves beat us with 18 offensive rebounds.
We are not dead yet but it will be extremely hard to beat this team 3 in a row.

PS-LBJ only took 9 shots?? Gonna be a long haul back to a game 7. Ant dug the hole and we fell into it.
-
That’s a bit deceptive DJ. He was fouled 8 times and went to the line. Thats 17 shot attempts.
-
-
“LBJ missed 3 and TO were the undoing.”
That is exactly right. That LeBron 3 should never have been the option with the game on the line. As soon as he missed it I knew right away the game was over. The turnover was the final nail in the coffin.

NBA Observations- Big Money Spent For The Clippers And Heat, Are The Lakers Next?
The guys from the Lakers Fast Break return for some NBA Observation as they share thoughts on the recent big-money extensions for Miami coach Erik Spoelstra and the Clipper’s Kawhi Leonard. Does this mean the Lakers will be opening up their wallet a little more as well? Plus after Toronto Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic’s huge rant after the Lakers game because of the fourth-quarter free throw disparity, we ponder if Darvin Ham will ever show that kind of energy if he remains as the guys on the sidelines for LA.
