To cap off a great week in basketball, the Nets swept their five-game Pacific road trip with two big wins vs. LA-based teams. In a matchup that went the distance, Brooklyn was able to put the Clippers away after a questionable offensive foul call on Kawhi Leonard during his potential game-tying layup with under 10 seconds left. James Harden’s flop sold the call and sealed the win.
Meanwhile, New Orleans pulled off the biggest comeback victory in franchise history after beating Boston despite trailing by 24 points at one point and Jayson Tatum‘s own late heroics thanks to clutch buckets from Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram. The Raptors moved to 16-0 without Kyle Lowry in their last 16 games without him, Trae Young dominated Denver for a Hawks victory, and Orlando has now won four of their last five games on the back of Nikola Vucevic.
RJ Barrett helped the Knicks pull away from the T-Wolves as Minnesota fired their HC after the game to immediately hire Raptors assistant Chris Finch. Giannis and Middleton did their thing against the Kings and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander‘s highly efficient night helped lead OKC over Cleveland.
