The Lakers lost the game against the Thunder primarily because of too many careless turnovers during crucial moments.

“The turnovers did them in tonight. Far too many careless turnovers, but they played a value game.”

The Chicago Bulls' improved performance is due to Billy Donovan's implementation of a new offense emphasizing ball and body movement.

“Billy Donovan put in a new offense. It's a offense that's moving ball movement, body movement, motion offense. They got rid of the ISO kind of stagnant basketball. They've been playing for years with Zack Lavine and Demar Rosen for that. Those guys are all gone.”

Austin Reaves has become a better player by taking on more offensive responsibility and attacking the rim more frequently.

“I know a lot about Austin Reeves. I know that he's been doing a great job, Zaz, of being more aggressive. Obviously, he's a lot more opportunity. No LeBron, no Luca Donets. So now he's got all the responsibility of carrying the offense. It's made him a more attacking player.”
