The haters and the media will try and scapegoat Lebron and Luka for the loss this series, but for the most part they played well this series, between them they both put up some monster games..
Lebron was exceptional for a 40 year old, he put up several monster defensive games, and a 38 piece, special stuff at his age.
Luka played really well offensively, he was below average on defence, but for the most part, he held up his part of the bargain, averaging 30 for the series.
The Wolves won, because as a whole they have a better / deeper team, and they've been able to work on their chemistry as a unit for quite some time. ANT, Mcdaniels, Naz, Di Vincenzo and even Golbert had a great series, they are solid from top to bottom and because of that they were able to take advantage of the Lakers weak points.
Austin Reeves played like absolute shit in this series, he did more harm than good most of the time. Gabe Vincent, DFS, Vanderbilt, Hayes and Hachimura can't really hold a candle to any players on the starting 5 for the wolves, they really aren't championship level starters and it's as simple as that.
Many of the games went down to the line, and that was the difference maker imo.
