Kevin O'Connor is joined by JE Skeets to react to the biggest news from the weekend including Yaxel Lendeborg's massive game against the Clippers, the Lakers' high-scoring victory against the Raptors, the Thunder dealing with yet another injury as Chet Holmgren is out for several weeks and more. Plus, which teams have surprised so far this season, whether for good or bad?
