What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
POLL!!! Is Russell Westbrook a world class athlete? (The context for asking this question can be heard on Monday’s @LockedOnLakers podcast.) @LockedOnNBAPods @LockedOnNetwork – 1:44 AM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Sometimes it’s good enough to be a shot-making team. The Lakers got a few big looks to go their way as they scrapped in small ball lineups with the fiesty Timberwolves in a win that brought them back to .500: ocregister.com/2022/01/02/lak… – 1:33 AM

Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Optimistic Patrick Beverley:
“The type of poise we showed throughout the game, toughness, fight that we showed on this road trip so far, that’s all you can ask for. If we just keep the same intensity with the guys coming back … we’re one of the best teams when we’re healthy.” – 1:06 AM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
LeBron says Avery Bradley knows exactly how to make his mark on the offensive end around guys who handle and are more capable playmakers. One of the reasons he’s succeeded in both stints in L.A. is because he doesn’t try to play outside what he does well, LeBron says. – 12:53 AM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
LeBron James says Melo’s attitude and approach is a “breath of fresh air” with how he’s accepted his role on the team and what he means to the game: “I’m happy as hell I finally get the opportunity to team up with him for a full season.” – 12:50 AM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron said “We’ve been playing good basketball of late,” that the Lakers are “Trending in the right direction” despite a few losses that they’ve suffered prior to winning 3 of the last 4. – 12:47 AM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
Quick @LockedOnLakers reaction video after the 108-103 win over the Timberwolves. The Lakers overcame a lot of issues (in particular, getting absolutely destroyed on the glass) to pull out an imperfect but important win. @LockedOnNetwork @LockedOnNBAPods pic.twitter.com/gQTwNlaEUs – 12:41 AM

Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Naz Reid: “I feel like we have a chance to make the playoffs and when we hurt ourselves, we ruin our chances in a way. So, definitely the frustration is there and I think also the frustration is there because we’re a lot better than how we displayed tonight.” – 12:35 AM
Los Angeles Lakers @Lakers
Got ’em.

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
A very frustrated Naz Reid after tonight’s loss to the Lakers:
“Turnovers matter. Playing hard matters. Being locked-in matters. Out of bounds plays matter. Everything matters. So when we have a game like this tonight, like 24 turnovers, we killed ourselves.” – 12:31 AM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Chris Finch on how the Lakers paid extra defensive attention to Anthony Edwards tonight without Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell available. pic.twitter.com/wbPTsZPYAw – 12:17 AM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Frank Vogel said one big reason he stuck with the small lineup through halftime was because he wants the Lakers to adapt to competing on the boards in their small units: “If we’re gonna explore this style of play, we’re gonna have to learn how to deal with this.” – 12:16 AM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Carmelo Anthony has taken 407 shots this season and 57.5% of them have been 3’s. Another 18.6% have been in the paint. His mid-rangers have largely come on mismatches or at the end of the shot clock. Olympic Melo has been one of the real bright spots of watching this Lakers team. – 12:11 AM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Chris Finch was not in the mood to celebrate positives from tonight in his postgame media after a loss tot the Lakers.
The message was clear: they beat themselves, and that even the players with with bigger box scores tonight made mistakes and need to be more consistent. – 12:10 AM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Frank Vogel said he had to “resist the urge” to go back to a traditional center to guard Naz Reid and get rebounds. But Vogel notes that the Timberwolves still outrebounded them in previous games when they had bigger lineups. – 12:09 AM

@ESPNLosAngeles – 11:56 PM
Bill Oram @billoram
Lakers hold on to beat Minnesota 108-103. They have won three out of their last four games — all games in which LeBron started at center. This one exposed some of the problems with going small (outrebounded x2, 56-28) but it’s a win in a game they needed to win. – 11:55 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Winnable game for the Wolves, shorthanded or not. Too many turnovers (23 of em). Too many missed 3s (29 of em).
Good games for Naz Reid (23 and 11) and Jaylen Nowell (17 points). – 11:55 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
FINAL: Lakers 108, Timberwolves 103.
The Lakers survive thanks to timely shots from Melo and Avery Bradley. LeBron’s 30-point streak ends, but he had 26 points. Russ with 20 points and 9 turnovers. Bradley with 14 points and 4 steals. – 11:54 PM
Brad Turner @BA_Turner
Lakers defeat T’Wolves 108-103. LeBron James 26 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, Malik Monk 22 points, Russell Westbrook 20 points, 10 turnovers. – 11:54 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
Lakers beat the Wolves 108-103 to get back to .500 at 19-19. LeBron 26p 7r 5a 3s; Russ 21p 9tos 5a; Monk 22p 2b; Bradley 14p 4s; Melo 14p. LeBron’s 30 point streak ended at 7 games, Westbrook’s triple-double streak ended at 4, but LAL won for the third time in four games – 11:54 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Without KAT + DLo Wolves lose in LA
Wolves 103, Lakers 108
Excited to talk about Nowell and Naz on the pod tomorrow — and what we’ve seen them be able to show in KAT + DLo’s absence.
I’ll be recording after tomorrow’s game against the Clippers. Maybe a LA split after tomorrow. – 11:54 PM
StatMuse @statmuse
LeBron James’ 30-point game streak ended at 7 tonight.
He’s clearly lost a step, might need to think about retiring. pic.twitter.com/mvg7t1H7Ow – 11:53 PM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Avery Bradley is 18-of-37 from 3 in his last eight games (48.6%). He was shooting below 35% on 3’s before that.
That mirrors his first season with the Lakers. He shot 22.6% from 3 in his first 20 games during the 2019-20 season and 42.5% in his last 29 (on much higher volume). – 11:47 PM

Avery Bradley. Unreal. – 11:39 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Whew, a Melo and-1 might save the day for the Lakers. That wasn’t an ideal shot with the clock winding down. – 11:38 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Big challenge goes in Chris Finch’s favor: Minnesota gets possession off a missed FT by Russ. Lakers lead by six with five minutes left. – 11:35 PM

Who says Melo can’t pass??? AK – 11:32 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Avery Bradley’s 12 points have been a killer for the Wolves – 11:31 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Jaylen Nowell came to the NBA with this bag. But it might end up being the best thing that ever happened to him that he had to wait a LONG time to show it.
Waiting made Jaylen care about the small things — because that was his path to playing. And that’s making the difference. – 11:30 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Feels like the Lakers have taken things up like five notches on defense here in the fourth. – 11:29 PM
Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
With 7:12 minutes left in the 4th quarter, Minnesota trails the Lakers 93-91.
Naz Reid is up to 23 points and 9 rebounds, approaching his first career 20+ point/10+ rebound game.
Jaylen Nowell adds 17 points off the bench, accounting for his fifth-straight double-digit game. – 11:27 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Jaylen Nowell 7 of 10 for 17 Naz Reid is 10 of 17. – 11:26 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Man LeBron had Beverley right in front of him and was six feet from the hoop and passed it out for a 3. Wolves breathe a sigh of relief there. Good TO by Finch. It was getting frazzled. – 11:25 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Minnesota has 18 turnovers tonight — Lakers have scored 17 points off of them. It’s a 93-91 Lakers lead with 7:12 remaining. – 11:24 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Big night for Jaylen Nowell. Wolves have really needed it. – 11:23 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Wolves battling the Lakers tonight down two of their best players, but lead going into the fourth. Outworking them on the glass and just letting Russ do whatever it is that he’s doing. – 11:15 PM
Allen Sliwa @AllenSliwa
80-78 Minnesota going into the 4th… – 11:14 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Russ fires off an end-of-period three from the wing and misses. He’s 0 for 6 from deep.
TWolves 80, Lakers 78. – 11:14 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
The Timberwolves, without Towns and Russell, lead a Lakers team that has LeBron and Russ playing, 80-78, heading into the fourth. – 11:14 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
LeBron James, who is 7-of-8 on free throws tonight, has passed Oscar Robertson for 4th on the all time made free throws list. He has 7,695 for his career. Only Karl Malone (9,787), Moses Malone (8,531) and Kobe Bryant (8,378) have made more. – 11:09 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LAL hold a 76-72 run with 4:00 left in the 3rd Q after a 13-3 run in the last 2:58 of game time. LeBron’s up to 22 points on 6 of 9 FG’s with 7 of 8 FT’s, the latest of which put him past Oscar Robertson for 4th on the NBA’s all-time free throws made list. – 11:06 PM
Los Angeles Lakers @Lakers
Congrats to @LeBron James on passing Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson for the 4th-most free throws made in NBA history. #NBAAllStar pic.twitter.com/mPkdDBpP3Y – 11:05 PM

Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
With his seventh free throw of the night at the 6:24 mark of the third quarter, Lakers say LeBron James passed Oscar Robertson for fourth on the NBA’s all-time free throws made list. – 11:04 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
From Lakers PR: “With his seventh free throw of the night at the 6:24 mark of the third quarter, LeBron James passed Oscar Robertson for fourth on the NBA’s all-time free throws made list.” – 11:04 PM

Bill Oram @billoram
The Lakers read and react defense has had too much Reid and not enough react – 10:56 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
The Timberwolves, without Karl-Anthony Towns, have 15 offensive rebounds. We’ve got 8:18 left in the third quarter. The Lakers looked very slow on their feet to the ball for the opening minutes there. – 10:54 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE the Lakers broadcast?
Objective
Informative
Entertaining
Never over the top
Just so professional and solid. Every. Single. Night. – 10:54 PM

Wolves just hammering the Lakers on the offensive glass. 14 of em already. – 10:52 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
The Timberwolves got approximately one million offensive rebounds on that possession and *did not* score. – 10:51 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
I hope the Lakers can bring back Malik Monk with the taxpayer MLE in the offseason but he’s gonna get better offers if he keeps this up. – 10:46 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
The Lakers hold a 57-54 lead at the half, allowing the Wolves to hang around due in part to turnovers (12), and 10 offensive boards resulting in 12 second chance points for the Wolves. – 10:38 PM

The Lakers up 57-54 at halftime. They’re up, but without a traditional center have struggled to contain Naz Reid (17 and 7) in the middle. LeBron and Malik Monk both have 14 points. Westbrook struggling with 7 turnovers. – 10:36 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Russell Westbrook had 7 turnovers in the first half. – 10:35 PM

LeBron James vs. Naz Reid: the classic center duel the small-ball NBA has deprived us of in recent years. – 10:34 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Naz Reid is just a problem for the Lakers halfway through. He’s got 17 points and 7 rebounds. Wondering if the Lakers reach for a traditional center to deal with him, because he’s hurting them bad.
Lakers up 57-54 at half over Minnesota. – 10:33 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
The Timberwolves do such a good job of developing players with limited minutes. Vanderbilt, Reid, Nowell, Knight, all of these guys look like real players despite going through long stretches with uncertain minutes. – 10:32 PM
Timberwolves vs. Lakers: Play-by-play, highlights and reactions
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
Naz Reid is enjoying the Lakers’ small lineups, which have resulted in a few business decisions being made with him driving to the rim. AK – 10:28 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
One way to fix Naz Reid’s shooting problems is to always dunk it when he’s near the rim. – 10:26 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Timberwolves go on a 9-0 run in two minutes after Taurean Prince checks into the game for the first time since December 10th – 10:25 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Tie game at 45 after Prince hits a 3 on a second-chance opportunity. Lakers were ball-watching on the rebound. Wolves clawing in despite shooting just 3 for 16 from deep. Winning the paint scoring battle, 30-18. – 10:23 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
LeBron out here getting cardio tonight – 10:19 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
The Timberwolves are down and the Lakers should be expected to win a game like this — at the same time, they have so much length that allows them to keep mobile on defense and rebound well at the same time. Great effort by the Minnesota guys who are healthy to be competitive. – 10:16 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Jaylen Nowell remains a bucket.
A no-brainer to remain in the rotation with a big role once the Wolves are back at full-strength. – 10:13 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Malik Monk with 12 early points contributing to the Lakers 4-point lead with 8:54 left in the second. Nowell giving the Wolves a scoring lift off the bench with 9. – 10:13 PM

Nate Knight in the rotation before Greg Monroe tonight against a Lakers team that is going smaller. Monroe was the first big in against a bigger Utah team on Friday night.
No Monroe, Layman, Okogie, Prince, Bolmaro in 1st quarter rotation. – 10:09 PM
Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
At the end of the first quarter, the @Minnesota Timberwolves trail 31-24.
Reid leads the way with 6 points on 2-3 shooting.
McLaughlin dished out 5 assists in the quarter, tying a career-high for any quarter. – 10:07 PM
Michael Pina @MichaelVPina
it’s so fascinating whenever the lakers go small with lebron on the bench – 10:05 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
It feels like Austin Reaves has gotten stronger physically as the season has progressed. He definitely still needs an offseason in the weight room but it feels like he’s made progress. – 10:03 PM

Malik Monk has a serious Kobe PE stash. pic.twitter.com/cHGSDiPFs8 – 9:59 PM

Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Wolves have had to work to come by their points early here. Doesn’t seem as hard for the Lakers. – 9:57 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Speaking of turnovers: Anthony Edwards has four. Lakers defense doesn’t force a lot of turnovers in general, but they’re capitalizing on errors without Russell here to take on point guard duties. – 9:56 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
I agree with continuing to play Jordan McLaughlin through players returning from COVID. Think JMac’s style has a sneaky value for this team. – 9:54 PM
Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Naz Reid, who gets lead of the notebook treatment today in part to discuss his shooting issues, 2 of 3 to start and 2 of 2 from the line. – 9:48 PM

Wolves will give that to Westbrook all game long. – 9:46 PM

TWolves going to Naz Reid early on the post to exploit the size advantage he has on Johnson. He has six of their 10 points. – 9:45 PM
