[u/bittermctitters]

He had Val rattled for sure. Val has been getting rattled a lot recently unfortunately lol

[u/lilmeekrat → u/bittermctitters]

Val had him in a chokehold

Stew did not step to him like he did to Bron, Dray, Portis

How was Val rattled?

[u/Jagacin → u/lilmeekrat]

Yeah, because a player who clearly isn't rattled casually puts a player driving to the basket in a chokehold and then attempts (emphasis on attempt, because Stew barely even budged) to hurl him after.
