Luka Doncic has been through the season from hell, getting traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers at the trade deadline and now flaming out

LOS ANGELES — Rudy Gobert had playoff career highs with 27 points and 24 rebounds, Julius Randle added 23 points and the Minnesota Timberwolves advanced in the NBA playoffs with a 103-96 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5 of their first-round series Wednesday night.

After Doncic teamed up with LeBron James, Los Angeles had championship aspirations. Instead, the Lakers were run off the court by the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs.
