Khris Was Cash

Milwaukee’s All-Star Khris Middleton began to bubble over in the third period as he converted impressive jumpers with high degrees of difficulty. He went on to help force OT and then solidify the win on a clutch triple with six seconds left to play.

The King Reigns Supreme

LeBron James excelled in every aspect of Sunday’s events which led to a stat sheet stuffed full of points, dimes, boards, steals, and blocks. In the victory, the living legend joined Derek Fisher with the most NBA Playoff wins (161) in league history among the many categories he’s the all-time Playoff leader in NBA history.

Double-Double Downs HOU

Superstar Anthony Davis notched a 34-point double-double and was a man amongst boys against the small-ball Rockets with a mid-range game that served as AD’s bread-and-butter and helped LA hold off Houston’s respectable comeback effort.

Not All Herro’s Wear Capes

Not even old enough to order a drink in a public setting, it seemed that whenever the Heat were down and in dire need of a bucket, Tyler Herro stepped up as the hero, firing in three significant 3s at the end of the fourth quarter and OT.

Kuz’s Killer Dunk

Kyle Kuzma was the perfect spark plug off the bench on this play with a quick first step that beat RoCo followed by a thunderous slam dunk which P.J. Tucker made sure to side-step, as to not be in the poster.

Bam Cleared for Takeoff

Big man Bam Adebayo has been hooking up with his guards all postseason long by being the recipient of pretty lob passes leading to malicious alley-oop finishes just like this one-handed slam in Game 4 versus the Bucks.
