Ayton specifically continues to look like a completely different player on the court as he continues to dominate in the paint and is showing a huge willingness to dunk.

Ayton as well looks a lot more confident on the court. As Argentina was cutting the deficit short, Ayton quieted the crowd with shhhhh sound back at the crowd to then help lead the team to the win.
LOL Argentina had cut the lead to 10, but Deandre Ayton knocked down a big shot to calm things down and told the crowd SHHHH pic.twitter.com/MiuLjefDIG

Gordon as well showed some “dawg” in him earlier in the game when he stared down a ref before proceeding to show up and show out.

Who came over both times to talk to him?
