Logan and Raja discuss what this means for both teams and whether they are championship contenders (5:30). Ja Morant was fined $75k for finger gun pointing gestures.—how will his reputation affect his career and image (19:04)? Russell Westbrook had a couple blunders late in the game Wednesday night when the Nuggets fell to the Timberwolves in double OT. Has the criticism for Russ been fair or foul (35:40)?
