NBA legend Charles Barkley warns LeBron James and Luka Doncic after the Los Angeles Lakers suffer a crushing Game 1 defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves. What does this mean for their playoff hopes?

James had a career-worst start to the playoffs, with the 117-95 defeat to the Timberwolves representing the worst Game 1 loss in the first round of the playoffs for his career. Though James had 19 points and Doncic added 37, the Lakers fell flat as the Timberwolves made 51.2% of their shots from the field and 50% from behind the 3-point arc.

Luka Doncic, LeBron James, and the Lakers are facing immense pressure to deliver in Game 2 of their series against the Timberwolves.
