Even They Couldn't Believe What Happened Last Night...

Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: https://heatcheck.info/ On a wild night in the NBA, the Lakers made a furious 20 point comeback in the 4th, and even took the lead with a minute to go. But then, Lebron started making some questionable decisions. The Lakers had a chance to even make it a 2 possession game but look at how disorganized they are. LA spent 15 seconds doing absolutely nothing. Lebron did however get a favorable mismatch against Kyrie and an empty side for him to cook. But check out what he does settling for the hero ball bailing out the Mavs. And the punishment came just moments later as Luka Doncic takes matters into his own hands, drives and attracts the attention of the entire defense, which left Kyrie wide open at the 3 point line. The kickout, the shot, and just like that Dallas is back in front. James then inexplicably walks the ball down the court wasting time for a potential second chance in case of a missed shot. Look at how nonchalant he is. The Lakers get the same switch once again, and the big man has to be ready to help on a potential drive. Lebron sees that Luka is on AD and tries a lob pass, but a great reaction by both Doncic and Ruchaun Holmes to intercept it and the Lakers have to foul. Kyrie makes them both and LA still has 1 final shot to tie the game but James is short on the fadeaway. This was one of the rare occasions where he made many bad decisions in the clutch. Moving on, Boston had a 17 point lead on the Bucks with 5:40 to go. But then Giannis, Dame and company showed just how dangerous they can be, and that no lead is safe when they’re on the court. Dame Dolla started to heat up with a three from way downtown, moments later with a blow by all the way to the rim and the layup. This was still a 9 point game with less than 90 seconds to go, but on the Giannis penetration you gotta help out, and Antetokounmpo flips it back to Middleton for an open 3 and he knocks it down. The Bucks get a stop and then you know it’s Dame Time in the clutch as he steps back for the three and buries it. All of a sudden it’s only a 3 point game. The entire arena is in disbelief. Thankfully for them, Tatum does the right thing and attacks the basket forcing contact and the refs call a foul. Milwaukee still has a lot of time left, and they go to Lillard once again who blows by White and is all alone for the dunk but he gets rejected by the rim. Unbelievable. That right there was the nail in the coffin and even tho the Bucks fell short, they showed us that you can never fall asleep on them, no matter how big the lead is. Things got insane in Indiana where they had a 1 point lead in the final minute and on this possession, they could have had full control with this shot by Buddy Hieeeld but he misses and the drama continues as the Raptors go the other way. And fighting for position, we got a foul on Haliburton against Siakam. Now I personally thought that this was a weak foul to be called in a situation like this, but it is what it is Paskal Siakam gets 2 free throws with a chance to put his team back up by 1. And he makes them both. Out of the time out the Pacers decide to go 2 for 1 having Tyrese racing inside. He stops fakes the defender in the air, steps through and double clutches this shot in. Phenomenal display of composure by Haliburton. But watch what happens on the other end. A great play design by Toronto tricking the Pacers with this fake as Barnes dunks it and he gets the foul. Things went from great to horrible for Indiana in just 3 seconds. Down by 2, Haliburton drives and feels a bit of contact so he throws it up expecting a foul call but he doesn’t get it. And all of a sudden they’re in a tough spot having to play the foul game now. After a back and forth fouls, ultimately Gary Trent Jr goes to the line up by one and he misses the first free throw. Shoots the second one and misses again, and now it’s chaos, the Pacers have a chance to win it. Watch Buddy Hield as he slips this screen and the Raptors leave him open. So now it’s Buddy with the shot for the wiiiiin but he misses. Maaan the entire arena would have exploded had this gone in. Toronto escape Indiana with a victory. OK so get this. I know nobody is on here to watch the Wizards and the Hornets, but I gotta show you some hilarious brainfarts in the clutch. Down by 4, Kuzma does a good job of penetrating and finishing with this nice layup, and look at the clock: there is almost 6 second difference here so all they gotta do is play defense, but of course Kuzma fouls right away leaving his team in shock. I’m sure the I didn’t hear you was a good excuse for him.

What LUKA Did To The Clippers Should Be ILLEGAL...

Luka got tackled by Kris Dunn last night! But the Lakers responded with some genius plays down the stretch. So, let’s start from the beginning of the city rivals game where Doncic got super busy! Oh Oooh, when he starts pulling up 3’s from way downtown, you know you’re in trouble. And the best thing is, he was just heating up. Heat Check! Luka went crazy in the opening minutes, hitting 5 of 5 from beyond the arc. And he was staring at the Clippers bench after each and every one of them. His hot streak ended on the next possession when he initially got the whistle for 3 free throws, but after the challenge by Ty Lue, the call got overturned. This only added fuel to the fire because… Doncic with the block on Harden on one end and then the tough layup in transition! It was a full display of his arsenal as Luka counted to 24 points in the 1st quarter! Unbelievable! And speaking of that, check this out!Kobe Brown exploded to the rack, putting both Laravia and Kleber on a poster! Despite Luka’s brilliance, the Clippers actually had a 1 point lead after 12 minutes of action. #nba #lukadoncic #lakers
