Lakes had double digit leads in every game and this was before Murray hurt his calf. A couple lucky game winners and MPJ playing WAY over his head is the reason they lost.
I'm not diminishing what Minny is doing at all either.
Exactly. The Lakers just did not have a bench and could not close games, they led every game, even losing a game with a 22-pt lead. Then you add Murray hitting 2 game winners. The Lakers could have won that series seriously. They were 2 bounces away from leading 3-2.
They allowed Toronto to be this physical with GS in '19. They allowed Cleveland to be this physical with GS in '16 too. It happens in the playoffs, I'm just not remembering earlier round series...
