October 25th: The Lakers 128-110 the Timberwolves in the NBA regular season. Ayton was interviewed after the game.

Talking about the reason for the go-ahead score and reversal of the game, Ayton said: "It is trust, trust in Luka, trust in the coaching staff, and implement the established tactics. Well, the main thing tonight is that we want to protect the penalty area and prevent them from scoring easily. You know, they made some difficult shots, but we can also make our own shots, and we worked hard to return to defense. The transition between offense and defense in the early part of the game hurt us very much. , you get the ball out early and advance to the frontcourt quickly. So we started to make improvements in this area, which is to make some adjustments as soon as possible. We made a lot of adjustments on the defensive end just to get back into the game."

Ayton played 31 minutes in this game, making 7 of 11 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 15 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 block, including 3 offensive rebounds, with a plus-minus value of +9.
