The Lakers lost 103-96 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of their playoff series.

The Timberwolves had one of the most anemic shooting nights in the history of the NBA playoffs.

Luka Doni and LeBron James were injured in the first half .

The Lakers' present and future were supposed to team up to make some quick magic, but couldn’t.

The Lakers exit the postseason in five games for the second straight year .

The Lakers have a first -round pick they can trade in addition to some tradable contracts in Maxi Kleber , Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt .

With Doni , assuming he gets himself in championship shape, the Lakers have long runway of time to stay relevant.
