Clemente Almanza: Jaden McDaniels: “We just gotta stop fouling. We’re being a little bit too physical. We gotta switch our gameplan of how the refs are calling the game… Just expect things to happen. He’s gonna get calls and the refs aren’t always gonna be on our side.”

Dave McMenamin: Jaden McDaniels said the Thunder’s 17-2 run in the 3rd Q of Game 1 wasn’t just caused by OKC applying pressure, but by MIN letting their foot off the gas at the same time. He said the lesson learned is still playing hard until the final buzzer – “you don’t know what can happen” pic.x.com/SvyNUy3e96 -via Twitter @mcten / May 21, 2025
Jaden got his third and fourth fouls early in the third quarter. Did his absence affect you? Anthony Edwards: Yeah. Hell yeah. He’s the best defender we got. They usually put the five on him, and we play through him in the pocket. He’s aggressive and makes the right play over and over. Not having him hurts. -via YouTube / May 21, 2025
