Well, it was an eventful game, if nothing else. Anthony Davis woke up with his back feeling extra stiff, and had to sit out Friday's game in Minnesota. Russell Westbrook made his regular season debut as a sixth man, with some positive moments mixed in with... less positive moments. LeBron James was aggressive, but very inefficient. The Lakers hit some three pointers... but fell apart from two-point range and turned the ball over like crazy.

They played hard, they tried their best... and nonetheless fell to 0-5 with a 111-102 loss to the Wolves.

The hope is that Davis will be available on Sunday, but with Denver coming to town the Lakers will still need to elevate their play in order to get that first win. The hole is getting very, very deep, and we're not even to Halloween, yet.

Is there any real help on the horizon?
