The Lakers' weaknesses - no rim protection and lack of depth - were exposed in a five-game NBA playoffs series loss to the Timberwolves.

The Los Angeles Lakers are one loss away from being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Lakers are down 3-1 in the series but will have a chance to extend it in Game 5.

As the crowd roared, the entire Los Angeles Lakers team gathered in a huddle. This was a vastly different team than the one that started the season, and primarily because of their newest team member: former Dallas Maverick and Slovenian superstar Luka Doncic.
