LOS ANGLES, USA —
LeBron James may be "progressing nicely" in his rehab from an
abdominal strain, but in his absence Los Angeles Lakers star
Anthony Davis
isn't happy with the team's performance.

Davis excoriated the Lakers' performance in a 107-83 loss to
the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday that James could only watch from the
sidelines.
"We've got to decide who we want to be," Davis
said after the contest. "A championship team? That's not us right now.”
"We're not winning a championship the way we're
playing. We've got to be better, and we've got to care more for our wins at
home. Wins in general. That was embarrassing."
The Lakers led by five at halftime but were out-scored 40-12
in the third quarter by the Timberwolves, who went into the contest with the
third-fewest wins in the Western Conference.
"We sucked," Davis said of the pivotal third
period. "No defense. Can't score. That's not just this third quarter,
(it's) every third quarter we've played this season.
"We come out slow, lackadaisical offensively and
defensively. We've got to get it together."
The only good news for the Lakers on Friday was coach Frank
Vogel's revelation that James's return might be on the horizon.
"His rehab is progressing nicely," Vogel said.
"He's back to doing on-court basketball activity and this does not seem
like it's going to be an extended stretch and he's to be considered truly day
to day."
