The basketball season ends for the Los Angeles Lakers. The team from California lost to Minnesota Timberwolves with 96: 103. It was already the fourth defeat in the quarter -finals of the Western Conference.
The series went 4: 1 to the Timberwolves. After a long injury break at the foot, Maximilian Kleber, who was only transferred to the Lakers in February, made his debut for his new team, which Superstar LeBron James and Slovenian top player Luka Doncic also belong. In five minutes of play, the Würzburg scored two points, but made a ball loss in the crucial phase.
Altmeister James (40) made 22 points, but disappointed across the board in the last quarter. Leading player Doncic tortured himself after a painful fall in the first half with back problems with 28 points. But against the ripped off Timberwolves, in which Center Rudy Gobert towered over with 27 points and 24 rebounds, that was not enough.
Timberwolves make you take notice
The strong Timberwolves vibrate more and more into a favorite. “It feels great, we had a season with up and down. We have a lot of boys who want to win and love each other”said the Frenchman Gobert at TNT.
The Golden State of Warriors have to put an extra layer around Stephen Curry. The team from San Francisco clearly lost the fifth game against the Houston Rockets with 116: 131 and now only leads 2: 3 in the series. Curry and his co-star Jimmy Butler both got a weak evening. Curry only reaches 13 points, butler only eight. But soon you can do it better and make the quarter -final ticket clear in your own arena.
