NBA Saturday on 2/20/21 presented plenty of excitement for sports fans, basketball bettors, and fantasy users alike with buzzer-beaters, last-second overs hitting, and big-time performances to carry their fantasy squads. A 2020 NBA Finals rematch headlined the evening as the Heat took the Lakers all the way down to the wire and walked away with revenge after Alex Caruso missed the potential game-tying shot. 

Steph Curry is well experienced in playing in NBA Finals matchups himself, but was a late scratch before Saturday’s game vs. Charlotte (sick). In a tie game with under 10 seconds left, Draymond Green got ejected for another technical foul right before Terry Rozier capped off his phenomenal performance with a buzzer-beating game-winner. 

Zach LaVine stepped up with his own dagger in Chicago’s victory over the Kings, CP3 dropped a whopping 19 assists in Memphis, and Washington won its fourth game in a row for the first time in over three years thanks to Westbrook and Beal combining for 64 points to overcome Dame’s hot hand. 

Here are the best NBA highlights, facts, performers, and takeaways from February 20th, 2021:
