Description
Benjamin Garcia spotlights Jalen Green’s electric shooting night versus one of the NBA’s top defenses and questions why Jordan Ott’s in-game decisions let the Raptors steal momentum. The episode examines Rasheer Fleming’s impressive shift to the center position, Devin Booker’s late-game passivity, and Royce O’Neale's defensive lapses against Brandon Ingram.
