Los Angeles Leakers suffered an 117-95 defeat by Minnesota Timberolos at the opening game of the NBA Western Conference First Round Playoff.
Jaden Mc Daniels scored a top for the sixth seeded timber Walls with 25 points, which was the only team to win in the opening matches of the best series after the season.
Naz Red scored 23 points from the bench, while Anthony Edwards added 22 points for Minnesota, eight wabounds and nine Assists, who led 27 points at one stage.
Leakers’ star Libron James, who is chasing the fifth title in his 22nd NBA season, failed to score in the initial quarter for the third seeds, but hit 19 points.
Luka Donak, the highest trading of February, was scored at 37, the highest score of 37, after reaching Dallas Moreks.
Leakers coach JJ Redk said his team was “mentally prepared” but failed to meet Minnesota’s physicality.
“I thought our soul was fine,” he said. “I thought even when they scored, our hoods were very good, communication was great.
“But when they started playing with a lot of emphasis and physicality, we immediately did not respond.”
