incredible 4th quarter ending, pure madness. Schroder made a corner three with 1.4 seconds lef tto give the Lakers a 98-95 lead, then Davis fouls on a three point attempt with 0.1 left. Conley makes all three free throws and we have overtime!

I said in the preseason that this would be the TWolves year both because they got Gobert and because Edwards was going to have a breakout year. Gobert gets suspended and Edwards goes 0-9 from deep in the playin game so what do I know. Lot of questions about the fit of Gobert with KAT, we will see next year when KAT and Gobert are hopefully both healthy and have a year of chemistry under their belt.

The 4th quarter was crazy .. especially when Schroder put the Lakers up by 3 on a 3 ball shot having 1.4 seconds remaining in the game .. All the Laker players were stretching out their arms as the icing on the cake after Schroder's 3 .. And when AD fouled Conley taking a catch n shoot 3 ball shot having 1.4 seconds .. the thought of the Lakers trading AD in the offseason came to mind.
Lebron had about 10 to 12 turnovers last night that the stat-man gave to his teammates for not catching the ball lol
The TimberWolves last season needed another big-man in their rotation in their playoff run.
This regular season the TimberWolves were to soft and needed last season player/coach Beverley leadership on the court.

Bulls 109 - Raptors 105
The Chicago Bulls let the Toronto Raptors have a 10 pt lead for 3 quarters, it became a different game in the 4th quarter when the Bulls guards Caruso & Lavine speed up the tempo to outscore the Raptors 37-24 in the final quarter for a Bulls Play In win.
Raptors head coach Nurse loss the majority of his games this season in the 4th quarter ..
It have to be the 7 or sometimes 8 player game rotation he had in all 82 games.

OKC 123 - Pelicans 118
The OKC Thunder young super-star Shai Gilgeous Alexander's 32 pts, 5 rbds, 3 ast, 3 steals, 1 block, and 2 turnovers kept topping the N.O. Pelicans top players Ingram & McCollum throughout the game,
And combo-guard Giddy's performance was out-standing 31 pts, 9 rbds, 10 ast, and 2 turnovers was a rebound short of a triple-double

Well, Gobert's elbow took Shai scoring out the game in the Wolves vs OKC matchup for a Wolves 120-95 win.
And the Bulls vs Heats game was a nice battle until the final 2 minutes of the game. The Bulls put Caruso to defend Butler in the final 2 minutes for a Heats 102-91 win.
Now, the Heats gonna get there 2nd chance to be embarrassed by the Bucks in the playoffs .. Bucks by 0-4

Game 1 .. 76ers 121 - Nets 101
Game 1 halftime .. Celtics 74 - Hawks 44

The Nuggets had a 30 point lead over the Suns at halftime 81-51
The Nuggets star players Jokic & Murray played 38 & 35 minutes in the game, when the game was over at half-time (24 minutes).
As an old timer .. There was no way a head coach or Donald Sterling would have got Super Star players Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Olyjuwon, David Robinson, Duncan, or MJ to get on the court in the 2nd half having a 30 point lead at half time in a regular season or playoff game.

Brunson 22 pts in 21 minutes on 8-11 FG
