Anthony Davis and the LA Lakers' woes continued as they endured their sixth defeat of the ongoing NBA season on Friday night, losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 17-time NBA champions suffered yet another second-half meltdown as they were outscored 34-63. The Lakers lost the tie by a 107-83 margin and even trailed by a whopping 33 points at one stage.Davis, the Lakers' co-captain, was visibly frustrated during the post-game press conference. He went on to claim that the Purple and Gold do not look like a championship-caliber team at this stage. Here's what he said (h/t Dave McMenamin):“We got to decide who we want to be. A championship team? That’s not us right now … That’s embarrassing … No effort in the third quarter.”The LA Lakers put on a strong showing early on and grabbed a 11-point lead. It looked like they were on their way to an easy win against a Timberwolves side that had lost six straight games on the trot. But yet another lackluster showing in the third quarter, during which the Lakers were outscored 12-40, completely shifted the tie in favor of their opponents.Los Angeles Lakers@LakersSee you Sunday.11:27 AM · Nov 13, 20212381216See you Sunday. https://t.co/tr9uz4h9btAnthony Davis recorded 22 points, eight rebounds and three blocks on the night, while Russell Westbrook had 20 points and five rebounds.
