Ayton is literally just out to just be out there. Zero impact whatsoever.

Timberwolves really have no turnovers yet. Portland made them turn it over like crazy. Lakers really that bad defensively.

Did Kevin Harlan just mistake Laravia for Knecht?

Pistons trying to win down a ton of players. Ref allowing nothing. Duren tossed, Holland and Stew fouled out, others close.

Wemby fouls out. This is good for the Spurs though. Someone else needs to step up.

Especially with Fox out. This is good for the other guys to look around and realize they have to close out on their own.

The Wolves don't seem to be bothered by the Lakers' defenders. Even when they get a hand up, it doesn't matter.

Houston +23 FTA, down 4. They are REALLY hurting for competent offensive players. Durant, yeah. Sengun, sometimes. Then a bunch of dudes you really can’t count on for offense on any given day. Defense wins championships — but you still gotta score.

Lakers' plan seems to be "let's hope Luka scores 60 and that it's enough to win"
