Q: “You got a lot of good shots, what did you like?” Redick: “We emphasized screening in our pregame meeting. I think we did a good job screening. They’re not switching a lot, and they’re sending our side p&r’s to the middle…” Listen close, you can hear Laker fans EXHALING.

With 0.3 seconds left in the quarter, Nikola Jokic attempts the first ever full-court tip in. HTF was this so close?? 🤣🤣

Imagine you're Stephon Castle--you've controlled these moments your whole life. And then some 7'7 dude claps for the ball and you get to watch him go to work. Oh ya, Wemby had the game-tying 3 AND a block just before this. The dude is unreal.

No player in the NBA is as effective or blatant in stalling with a lead than Nikola Jokic. He does this by delaying the refs 5-second count (fumbling the ball or passing it to the ref) and then rolling it to his teammate. Tonight he wasted almost a minute of game clock in the 4Q.

Julius Randle grabs a missed free throw and races the ball up the court before zipping the ball to Rudy Gobert as if to say, "fine, here ya go." Gobert fumbles the pass and Randle slumps his shoulders before walking off. Chemistry issues in Minnesota.

"People in the crowd are stunned" Carter Bryant has unreal bounce. Look at the reaction of his teammates 🤣

The Zach LaVine shot was very strange to watch live. Doug Christie was adamant it was a 3 and the refs were just like, "naw we're good" 🤣 Not a great look, especially given today's events

Per the Last 2 Minute Report, there were two incorrect calls late in last night’s Kings-Suns game. Suns center Mark Williams should've been called for a 3-second violation with 1:25 to go. Zach LaVine’s 3-pointer with 18.5 seconds to go was incorrectly scored as a 2-point basket.

The Pacers put a smaller guy on Wemby who can stay in front of him so Wemby simply re-posts and goes to work from the midrange IDK what you're supposed to do if he just casually becomes a 3-level scorer

Cade Cunningham with an intentional missed FT SO good that it tricks both the refs and the Warriors announcer

One of the most awkward sequences you'll ever see on live TV. While filling time before the Kings/Warriors tip-off, Sam Mitchell does not take kindly to being the butt of a joke related to his NBAtv salary and doesn't hold back 👀👀

It's absurd how desensitized we've become to Steph Curry doing this. The moment, the range...everything. It should be more shocking but he's just made it look so normal for so long. Unbelievable.
