Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, Andrew Schlecht, live postgame with someone doing the elliptical next to him after Thunder Laker.

The Thunder get a little bit of revenge on the Lakers for the blowout, but I got to start with this, Andrew. How did you get Luka Doncic ejected from this game?

84.105 - 108.778 Andrew Schlecht

It was so... It was funny because... I went and talked to J.J. post-game, and I listened to what he had to say. He said Luka was talking to a fan. And then you hear from the Thunder side, and you read the pool report, J.T. Orr, the official, believed that it was being directed at him. And even Mark Dagnall had talked to J.T. after he was ejected, asking what was going on, and J.T.

108.838 - 135.39 Andrew Schlecht

said that he had directed... something toward him and it was so there was confusion i think as to actually what happened here uh it was a fan uh that that i actually i know this fan that was ejected he sits courtside he heckles he heckles players every single game uh little home court advantage thunder so i believe he said post game he was playing the game within the game And you know what?

135.811 - 141.575 Andrew Schlecht

It kind of worked, kind of worked for him tonight. Jeremy got the victory over Luca tonight.

142.156 - 162.832 Es Baraheni

Oh my God. That's funny. Well, there's going to be a lot of fans tomorrow for Luca to deal with as well. That's going to be a part of it. But this game was absolutely nuts. Like the shot making throughout the first half was just absurd. It was something like, I don't know, 80% on threes for the first half between these two teams, which was kind of a mirror of the first game for the Lakers and,

163.472 - 170.516 Es Baraheni

What is it about this matchup that makes it such an offensively crazy game? And what do we see tonight from that?
