NBA 2018-19: 3 talking points as the Timberwolves curbstomp the Lakers

#1. The Lakers' young'ns

Lonzo-Ingram

All eyes are on this duo. These are high-pressure times in Los Angeles and each and every action is minutely under scrutiny. Especially the actions of Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram who are expected to save the Lakers in the absence of LeBron James.

But, they have been absolutely disappointing in that job so far. The Lakers are in a rut and nothing seems to be working for them right now. It has become so ugly that even the Lakers fans are booing these young stars in their own court.

Pressure is mounting on the front office as well to make trades if these youngsters fail to deliver on the goods. In this game Ball had 0 points while Ingram had only 13 on 5-16 shooting.

In their next game the Timberwolves will face the Thunder while the Lakers will face the Mavericks in an away game.
