Deandre Ayton reflected on the team’s win after the game, per reporter Dave McMenamin. He stated that the Lakers’ recent loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder was a wake-up call for the team, knowing what they needed to do to get back on track. “I was telling Kleber and Vando…that OKC game woke us up. Coming in with different spirits and understanding like forget the back to back. You know what I’m saying? This is Laker basketball. We’re trying to win a game,” Ayton said. A reporter later asked him about why he’s happy to be in Los Angeles. Ayton made his answer very clear with a loud and explicit statement. “IM F**KING EXCITED. I love everything. I love everybody.”
