If the ball hits the top of the backboard, Isn't that out of bounds?

Wolves incredibly lucky that Reaves is missing these wide open jumpers, this would be a 20 pt game.

Luka just doesn't look right in that Laker uniform. Will look much better in a Raps uni.

LA is playing well but Reaves has to start hitting shots or they need to get him off the floor.

This game is already over. Minnesota looks content that they stole one already. Absolutely horrible effort from them so far tonight.

Luka is a top 2 player in the world. At worst he's top 3.
