There Was A STAGGERING Turn Of Events In The Play-In…
Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: https://heatcheck.info/ Nobody could have predicted a scenario where the home crowd is booing their own team in the middle of a crucial game like this. And to be able to turn things around and come back from that is even more insane. You knew that this was going to be a wild ride right from the beginning when Miami imposed their own playing style and made this a complete slugfest full of tough shots and turnovers. And of course Miami came into this game with their famous zone defense that completely disrupted the offensive flow for Philadelphia, and at times the Sixers looked absolutely clueless on offense. Everything seemed to be going according to the plan for the Heat, until a frightening moment took place, dropping the hearts of Miami fans. Despite being in obvious pain, Butler once again displays the determination of a true warrior and continues playing as if nothing happened. And Miami executes their plan to perfection forcing Philly into a 6 for 23 shooting in the second quarter. A horrific 26%. This allowed them to open up a twelve point lead at halftime despite shooting below average themselves. With Maxey and Embiid at only 3 for 9 and 2 for 8 from the field, and the crowd booing their own team- things were looking grim for the Sixers. And it went from bad to worse in the third quarter when… But then, seemingly out of nowhere, unlikely heroes step up for Philly… And then the crowd exploded because… The role players completely turn this game around in the blink of an eye, led by Nick Batum who knocked down 3 threes in this period. And now, with the crowd back on their side, and them getting back into the game, we’re in for a dog fight in the 4th quarter. And with the defensive gameplan being centered around Joel Embiid, Philly needed the rest of the team to step up when it matters the most, and boy, Nick Batum continued to do that. Unbelievable, Batum is saving the season for Philadelphia in the crucial moments of the game. The Sixers now have all the momentum in the 4th quarter, but just when they thought that they were close to the win… With Butler clearly being affected by the injury, Tyler went hero mode scoring 16 points in the 4th quarter single handedly keeping the Heat in this game. And with the game tied up in the final minute, Miami’s smothering defense seemingly has the Sixers right where they want them, buuut…. Finally, Philly figures it out at the most important time of the game, giving them the lead at the end. But then, things really escalate because… Wooow Nick Batum comes up huge once again to send the arena into a frenzy and give his team the opportunity to make this a 2 possession game. As it turns out, this would seal the deal for Philadelphia as their clutch free throw shooting kept Miami at distance in the final seconds, and secured the win for them. From boos to cheers, what a shocking turnaround as they now go to the playoffs against the Knicks, and Miami’s valiant effort falls short and they face off against the winner of Chicago and Atlanta. And speaking of that, this do or die game started out as a back and forth battle until the final minutes of the first quarter when the Bulls decided to go ballistic and with a furious run. The Bulls storm out to an 18 point lead in the first, but now comes the spectacle, as the Bulls shot 59% from the field in the second quarter and in any other game they would probably build onto their lead. Only thing is… As shocking as it sounds, Atlanta outmatched Chicago’s shooting with a stunning 69 and a half percent as they seemingly couldn’t miss and cut the deficit all the way to 3 Despite Trae Young’s slow first half going 1-5 and 10 points, he made his presence felt and made great plays to find his teammates Coming back from an 18 point deficit, you would think that the momentum is now on Atlanta’s side in the third. And it was a tight game until… The Bulls go on another crazy run in the third quarter absolutely shutting down Atlanta, while shooting 65% from the field themselves. And they blow this game open when So, coming down to the finish line, in front of their fans, all the Bulls have to do now is take care of business in the 4th And Coby White definitely did that He was unstoppable, scoring 14 points in the final period for a stunning 42, 9 and 6 for the game The win was never in doubt in the final 12 minutes as Chicago knock out the Hawks and go for the final play in game against the Heat. And with the latest news that Jimmy Butler would miss several weeks with an MCL injury, this is a golden opportunity for Chicago to advance to the playoffs for a matchup against the juggernaut Boston Celtics. Admittedly, even if they make it there, this would be mission impossible for the Bulls, but still the playoffs would come as a reward for their persistence throughout the season and not giving up when they could clearly do that, especially after Zach Lavine announced that he’ll miss the rest of the season

We Witnessed The GREATEST Night Of The Season...
Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: https://heatcheck.info/ This was possibly the greatest night of the season. A bunch of clutch shots and insane performances had NBA fans losing their minds, so we gotta start with the absolutely wild ending in Dallas where the Mavs are down by 3 but they draw up a perfect play for Kyrie. Wooow a great look to tie the game but Kyrie misses and as precious time comes off the clock before the Mavs finally commit the foul, fans are starting to realize that this game is over. Boy were they wrong. Jabari Smith goes to the line to seal the game and badly misses the first one. At this point everyone noticed that the nerves are getting to him, so the real chaos begins… Unbelievable, what a mess in the final seconds and what huge shot by Exum to send it to overtime. And once they miraculously found themselves in OT, the Mavs were not going lose this game. As the crowd was going crazy, Luka took it to another level with this. Luka goes straight to Kyrie at the final buzzer in a scene that resembled the iconic flu game. And the circumstances were similar. Ramadan Kyrie carried the mavs on no food and no water, posting a stunning 48 points and 7 rebounds on 60% from the field. He got a damn near 50 piece shooting lights out without any food or water in him that whole day. What a player. And speaking of a great player carrying his team, the Clippers were down by 14 in the fourth quarter. And with Kawhi not playing, Paul George knew that he would need to become a superhero to save this game. So then… PG went ballistic scoring 23 points in the fourth quarter, single handedly getting the Clippers back in the game. And with the Cavs desperately trying to get the ball out of his hands in the finish, the role players stepped up. In a staggering turn of events the Clippers come all the way back and take the lead. Buuut things were not over yet as George commits a costly mistake with this cheap foul, enabling Cleveland to tie the game. So with the game in the balance PG wanted to redeem himself and… Are you kidding me?! An ankle breaker on the potential game winning shot? This is insane. And not only did he do that, but he saved the game on the other end as well… What a heroic performance as he actually outscored the entire Cavs team in the fourth quarter to save the Clippers and win this game for them with an improbable comeback. If you thought that this was a wild ending, you are not ready for what happened here. This game was basically over, a 7 point lead for the Spurs with about 90 seconds to go. Only thing is that Tyrese Maxey refused to give up. So now all of a sudden it’s getting interesting. And after this miss, it went from interesting to shocking in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye Philly comes all the way back and takes the lead. But what’s funny is that, we haven’t even started with the craziness. What a great play and what a clutch shot by Champagnie. But there’s still time for the Sixers and things start to escalate. Oh my goodness what a rollercoaster, and Philadelphia almost won it here in regulation. And in OT I witnessed one of the best back and forth sequences of the season with both teams knocking down absolutely huge shots. The Spurs have a chance to win the game here and you know who they would go to. Wemby misses this tough shot but there’s still time left now for Philly to go for the win… This is unbelievable we’re going to a second overtime, what a spectacular game. And OT number 2 was exactly the same with both teams trading blow for blow in an incredible back and forth battle, until this sequence… And that pretty much sealed the deal as the Sixers win an absolute thriller of a game powered by Maxey’s 52 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. And in a must win game between 2 teams fighting for a playoff spot, Zion literally unlocked god mode in the fourth quarter… And you know that he’s unstoppable if he’s making this jump shot. However nothing in this game compares to what he did to KD And of course, Zion’s bread and butter is this type of bully ball. Williamson literally did everything to secure this crucial win for the Pelicans and keep them in the race for the number 6 spot in the west. And speaking of that… Speaking of a great position, the Timberwolves have an opportunity to be the No. 1 seed in the West for only the second time in franchise history. They took advantage of the Lakers who played without LeBron and AD’s early exit in the 1st quarter with an apparent eye injury. Naz Reid, one of my favorite hustle players had a huge night, hitting six 3-pointers while scoring 31 points, 11 rebs on 75% shooting. This puts the Lakers back in the 9th spot and now they have to pray for other teams to lose in order to climb the standings.
