The Lakers got off to another slow start and could not hit open shots Wednesday against Minnesota, and the Timberwolves had some things to say.
The Lakers lost 13 of those games — including five times in the previous 11 days.Since the All-Star break, Westbrook is shooting 11.1% from three-point range. He’s not alone — Talen Horton-Tucker is at 25.9% and Austin Reaves is at 29.7%. All three are taking at least two attempts per game.
Coach Frank Vogel said that, according to the Lakers’ stats, the team made only four of 23 “open” three-point shots against the Timberwolves. Minnesota, by contrast, converted seven of their 11 open threes. Clearly unintimidated, the Timberwolves jawed and celebrated in the Lakers’ faces, totally emboldened to do or say whatever because they sensed the Lakers’ inability to stop them.“I honestly pay no mind to it,” Westbrook said. “Maybe the other guys [do]. But they weren’t talking to me. They were talking to individual guys particularly, but the trash-talking doesn’t bother me none.
The Timberwolves were talking to Westbrook. And James. And Malik Monk. . And everyone else in a Lakers jersey. And making some shots would be an easy way to maybe quiet some opponents who are reveling in the Lakers’ failings.
