The Los Angeles Lakers have to mask Luka Dončić’s defensive liability, or it will be the reason they get eliminated in the first round.

Jaden McDaniels should’ve been called for a foul on Luka Doncic in Game 4, according to the NBA’s Last Two-Minute Report released Monday.

A critical sequence late in the fourth quarter proved costly for Los Angeles. With 36 seconds remaining, Doncic was tripped by Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels. No foul was called, leading to Lakers head coach JJ Redick calling out this miss by the officiating crew ( via Yahoo Sports ).
