Minnesota comes in riding high after a nail-biting 118–114 comeback victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Anthony Edwards stole the show, dropping 41 points and putting the team on his back in the clutch. The All-Star guard, who averaged a career-best 27.6 points last season, wasn’t even guaranteed to play due to back spasms but shrugged them off to lead the charge like a man on a mission.
The Lakers, on the other hand, stumbled out of the gate. Despite solid efforts from their stars, they couldn’t find enough help from their supporting cast in a 119–109 loss to the Golden State Warriors. While Golden State’s bench mob chipped in key buckets, Los Angeles struggled to get anyone beyond Luka Dončić clicking offensively.
To make matters worse, LeBron James remains on the mend with a sciatica issue that will keep him out for another week and a half—leaving the Lakers to tread water through a tricky early stretch of the schedule.
