Monday’s games offered an abundance of high-powered finishes above the rim and teams rallying back to overcome almost insurmountable deficits. Chris Paul continued to keep defenses on their toes with creative ways of feeding his teammates. The Phoenix Suns are the best squad in the Orlando bubble with a pristine 6-0 record now, led by Devin Booker’s three straight 35+ point outings. To top it off, the Lakers got back on track in a dramatic win over the Nuggets that came down to the final second.
Enjoy the best highlights from Monday’s NBA action all in one place:
After limping out to a 2-4 record in Orlando, the Lakers found their footing with Kyle Kuzma’s spectacular 25-point game as he was given a starting role for the first time since the NBA’s reboot. Kuz went on to bury a clutch game-winning three to lift L.A. over Denver in the game’s final moments. Head Coach Frank Vogel’s trust in the team’s third best player was evident in not only granting him his first Orlando start, but also by drawing up a play for him to shine in the game’s final seconds.

Monday’s heated No. 6 seed vs. No. 7 seed matchup saw Dallas fall behind to a 22-point deficit. But Utah relinquished control to the expert shooting of Tim Hardaway Jr. and Seth Curry who helped the Mavs complete their epic comeback without premier players Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis.
