This is a case where I think you can actually see it happening because this is a very simple series for Ant. The Lakers are switching almost everything. He's picking whatever matchup he wants. A lot of times it's Luka. He seemed to get a soft spot for attacking Rui Hachimura down the stretch yesterday. I don't know what he likes about that matchup, but he roasted him.

And when that matchup happens, he gets the ball and the Lakers load the floor from every angle. They try to confuse him. LeBron is like a cornerback on the sidelines, like stunting here, stunting there. He's like ferocious. And Ant just sort of digests it all.

And there was a level of decisiveness that I, I, there were no dancing, no prelude, no, no, anything just go. Then there were other times where he like dribbled into the lane, help converged, took a dribble back, kept a live dribble, help went away.
