The Pelicans had the game in their hands up by 24 at home. So how in the world did things escalate to this?
While everyone saw the insane game winner, this stat is even crazier.
Morant had 27 points in the second half, single handedly outscoring 4 Pelicans starters.
Zion, Jonas, Herb Jones and CJ all together combined for only 25 points.
And while the Pelicans couldn’t find the rim in that span, Ja was cooking.
For New Orleans, it was all Brandon Ingram in the fourth quarter, but boy was it good…
And when Memphis decided to trap him at the end, watch Morant here staying in the middle between these 2 guys, and when the ball goes to Valanciunas, Ja sneaks in with the lightning quick reaction to steal the ball and save the possession.
After a pair of free throws by Jackson Jr, we get to CJ Mccollum who has to take some of the blame for this loss as he initially airballs an open 3 in the clutch.
This opens up the opportunity for Ja to do his magic.
And then here comes Mccollum again with a wide open look to win the game.
This was actually his third blunder of the game as he also smashed the backboard in the first half.
And you all know what follows as Morant wins it in his first game back with a heroic performance.
Will he be able to drag this team into the play-in race and save the season? Let me know in the comments because we gotta move on to another wild game between Golden State and Boston.
And in the end there was a real shootout.
The very next possession, the Celtics get a mismatch with Curry on Tatum and they double, which leaves White in the corner.
And just seconds later we got this…
It was as if they spent all their ammunition there because the finish was nothing but 3 point misses from both teams as they could not buy a bucket to break the tie.
This leads us to Jayson Tatum at the end with a chance to win it, but look at the defense here by Kuminga. All up into him, forcing a tough shot and a miss, we go to overtime and Steph Curry lets him know that he did a phenomenal job and basically saved the game for Golden State.
And he kept the same energy in overtime.
This catapulted the Warriors into a nice little run both on offense but also on defense because watch this:
Down by 4 at the end of the game, the Celtics need a bucket and they find Al Horford in the corner for the 3.
Now get ready for the unthinkable, because in all the mess and chaos at the end, this happens:
Golden State survive and win at home, but the madness is still not over in the NBA.
To say that Portland vs Phoenix was a crazy game would be a huge understatement as initially the Suns had a 15 point lead in the third quarter led by KD who was unstoppable.
But then the Blazers go on a huge 35 to 14 run and by the end of the quarter they take a 9 point lead.
And with this three by Malcom Brogdon the lead balloons to 14 with just 4 minutes to go and the entire arena thinks that the game is over.
Everyone except Kevin Durant.
He led a 13-2 Phoenix run and just like that, all they need now is 1 stop for a chance to tie the game.
But the Blazers go to Anfernee Simmons in the clutch…
Portland snaps a 7 game losing streak by beating the Suns and they are still stuck in the 10th place in the west. What a night, and what a season this has been so far.
That is especially the case for Coby White who’s been absolutely unstoppable for the past few weeks. You gotta check him out right here. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
