Game Preview

The Los Angeles Lakers will try to snap a three-game losing streak when they oppose the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night in Minneapolis, with both teams completing a back-to-back set.

Los Angeles fell 124-108 on the road against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. LeBron James finished with 25 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, and Anthony Davis registered 19 points and 14 boards in a losing cause.

“It’s not like our schedule gets any easier,” James said. “As far as travel, as far as opponents, things of that nature, obviously we play the best team in the Western Conference right now in Minnesota. … It’s not like it eases up for us, but we’ve just got to be better.”
