1. The Lakers and Thunder were in the middle of the fourth quarter Tuesday night when Luka Doncic drained a short jump shot to give L.A. a 108–107 lead. Doncic then turned to a fan to jaw at him. Referee J.T. Orr, though, thought Luka was targeting him, and ejected the superstar.
To say Lakers radio play-by-play guy John Ireland was unhappy with Orr’s aggressive actions would be an understatement. Orr went off and it was awesome radio. The yelling was effective and not over the top. The hyperbole was strong. And Orr cutting off analyst Mychal Thompson, who was trying to explain what happened, was perfect.
