The "Oklahoma City Thunder always get favorable reffing treatment" narrative didn't go anywhere during Game 3 of the team's NBA playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Saturday night's playoff game in L.A. quite literally started with Deandre Ayton getting called for a foul on the tip-off. While Ayton is clearly guilty of some contact here to warrant a foul, the optic is still pretty humorous for the team with so much outside animosity for how they're officiated.
Leonardo DiCaprio's stunned reaction to a LeBron James 3 was priceless
We don't really know statistically if OKC is given favorable treatment by the refs, or if this has always just been a fan theory that doesn't hold a lot of water when you break down the numbers. Although, the Thunder getting a foul to go the team's way one second into a game won't quiet any of the dissent; that's for sure.
How funny is that? ... Unless you're a Lakers fan.
