Man, Randle off to a great start this season. Really looks good.

Jaden really locked in on Reeves early.

Jaden’s D is intense. Randle has been really good. Hitting 3s is helpful.

Jaden intensity is just what Finch and Conley were talking about. This is the defender the Wolves need. Point of attack!

Refs letting Jaden defend him too, so that helps. Jaden's only job tonight should be to stop Reaves. I know he's supposed to be expanding his role and game, but with Clark out too and Reaves being literally the only healthy shot creator for LAL, it seems like the mission is pretty clear.

The only reason Austin Reeves gets a favorable whistle is because he's a Laker.

Dilly in before Bones!

He's a master foul baiter, which as we've seen, is "color-blind" when it comes to which team you're on. SGA is the poster child playing in flyover country at OKC.

It more because the Lakers as a team get a 'favorable whistle'. After four games this season they are already have a differential of +49 in FTA for vs against. They have lead this category since the Bubble season, not buy just a few, but often hundreds more that the next 2nd best! It's a hard stat to dig up, because the NBA doesn't want you to know.
