The Lakers fell on the road to the Minnesota Timberwolves, 124-104, on Wednesday in Minneapolis.
If the Lakers want to win another championship and avoid years of mediocrity, they must trade LeBron James.Someday, they’ll run out of fight. Someday, they won’t find the rope to escape some of these holes. And someday, these games will be every bit as embarrassing as they’ve been starting out.
“Just couldn’t put the ball in the basket,” coach Frank Vogel said, a feeling that is starting to become habitual.

It’s all just so emblematic of what this season has been — moments of positivity surrounded by unsolvable problems that ultimately sink the Lakers on most nights. Towns scored 16 in the fourth to ice the game, gesturing at the Lakers bench as he checked out of the game before the buzzer.Since the All-Star break, they’re 2-9, alive in the play-in hunt only because the teams chasing them are among the worst in the West.Lakers-Raptors takeaways: Sluggish offense, late rally, yet another loss
