Murray hit the nail on the head and said the biggest problem of the Lakers, which is defense!
After the win over the Timberwolves on the road, Murray talked about the differences between the Timberwolves and the Lakers in an interview. Murray said the Timberwolves are much better defensively than the Lakers, and their full-court pressing is putting a lot of pressure.
The Timberwolves are the league's No. 1 defensive team, with Gobert, Edwards, Reed, and McDaniels all being defensive masters. Murray played very hard under their care!
On the other hand, the Lakers, except for the thick eyebrows, who have good defense, Reaves and Russell are almost defensive holes, and James has no way to stay focused on the defensive end. If they don't solve the problem on the defensive end, the Lakers are destined to not go far!
