Per Khobi Price of The Orange County Register, Lakers head coach JJ Redick singled out the game's 16-8 turnover disparity — and Minnesota's ability to score 28 points off L.A.'s 16 turnovers — as the key problem holding back his team.

Said Redick: “The fact is, we don't have, quote-unquote, rim protection. So if we give up blow-bys, we’re going to give up something—we’re going to give up a 3 or we're gonna give up a shot from him at the rim.”
