Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: https://heatcheck.info/ We had a heart pounding finish to the Bulls and Pacers game. The Mavs threw so many lobs against Golden State that they almost broke the rim, and we got a bunch more last night but of course we gotta start with the thriller in Indiana. The Pacers were hanging onto a 1 point lead with the ball in their hands at the end, and this is where the chaos begins because… Oh my goodness, this is a potential game saving monster block by Siakam as Nesmith converts the 2 free throws and the Pacers now have a 3 point lead, but the drama is just beginning. Indiana fouls to prevent the 3 pointer, so Demar goes to the free throw line and hits the first one, so this is where things start to escalate. Aaaand you already know what happens next but we gotta hear it again. The overtime period turned into a mano a mano shootout between Demar Derozan and Myles Turner. This was just the beginning as none of them would back down. Turner was like a sniper with the three pointers, getting the lead once again, but Derozan was like prime MJ in this game… Unbelievable, this guy could not miss in the clutch literally carrying the Bulls. And, when Indiana decided to trap him in the finish, he was smart to look for the open guy, creating an advantage for his team and getting an easy bucket late in the game. Buuut in the final seconds, he was fouled and had an opportunity to ice it at the line. He hit the first, but then… Wooow, what a chaotic ending and it was only fitting for a game like this. The Bulls come back to force the overtime and win it with Demar Derozan’s late game heroics. OK let’s calm down from all of that and just enjoy the show from the Mavs. It was lob city in Dallas as Luka and Kyrie were just toying with the defense and throwing it up for their big men who then threw it down. Just look at what Luka does here creating the easiest points of the night for Daniel Gafford. And speaking of him, Gafford has had so many easy looks in Dallas that for the past 5 games he’s made the last 33 straight field goals without a single miss. Daniel is on a historic run, coming just 3 buckets away from Wilt Chamberlain’s record of 36 made field goals without a miss. I’m 100% sure that they’re all aware of this record so in the next game I expect Doncic and Irving to continue to set up the easiest possible opportunities for him to break this record. The Mavs get a much needed win against a play-in rival. The finals rematch was an absolute war from the first play of the game. Just look at the battle between the big men. Shoutout to Bam for battling hard against Jokic, and JJ Reddick also gave him credit during the game. Adebayo was able to limit Nikola’s touches but even with all of that, Jokic still had an efficient game, and the rest of the Nuggets were able to pick it up, especially Michael Porter Jr, who’s on a crazy run these last 10 games. Just look at the numbers: 20.4 PPG / 7.3 RPG / 54.8% FG / 43.8% 3PT MPJ is really ramping it up come playoff time, and he actually revealed that Denver overall are fighting to get that number 1 spot in the west. In fact, the Nuggets canceled the White House visit that all NBA champions usually have. They were supposed to go on March 19th but just the next day, they have a game against the Timberwolves, a rival for that top spot in the west. Imagine that, you cancel on the president of the United States, to get ready for Anthony Edwards and company. All of this is showing us how serious this team is about the postseason and the road to the finals for any Western conference contender will definitely have to go through Denver. And in a head to head matchup for the spot in the playoffs, the Kings left no doubt for their fans, and absolutely destroyed the Lakers from downtown. Sacramento swept LA in the season series going 4 and 0 this year. And even crazier than that, Anthony Davis falls to 0-10 all time against Domantas Sabonis. Imagine that, AD has not won in his career against the Lithuanian. This is truly unbelievable. The Kings climb up to number 6, just a hair above the play in zone. At least for now. Since we’re talking about things that are hard to believe, check this out: The Pistons are on a 2 game winning streak. Are you kidding me?! Jalen Duren had a monster game of 24 points, 23 rebounds and 5 assists. Wooow. We had a bunch of crazy things but you gotta check out the wild run of Anthony Edwards against the Clippers to get the Timberwolves back from 22 down in just 4 minutes. Check out this video right here. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.

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
