TNT Broadcast
Thursday’s two-game slate of playoff basketball was chalked full of high-intensity play which led to a generous serving size of headline-worthy highlights. Luck wasn’t on the Shamrocks side as they got devastated by OG Anunoby’s astonishing three-point prayer to notch a W for the reigning champs. And the seal of the Clippers-Nuggets series was broken by premium play from Kawhi which helped L.A. gauge the blowout victory.
Enjoy the best highlights from Thursday’s NBA Playoff action all in one place:
In Game 3’s waning moments, Raptors fans certainly felt defeated with a 3-0 series deficit looming large. But in contrast to Toronto’s abysmal 3PT efficiency (13-40 3PT), OG Anunoby resurrected hope with an exceptional catch-and-shoot three-point buzzer-beater to steal the win and keep the series alive.

Kawhi Leonard flipped a switch and entered a whole new gear as he played a robotic-like almost error-free game with 29 points on 12-16 FG. If the Klaw continues his ascension at this rate he’ll be in overdrive in no time, ready to lead the Clippers to the promised land.

Kemba was the shot taker and maker all day long for Boston (29 points), so the Raptors defended him down the stretch in such a way. However, they didn’t anticipate him to conjure up a pass of pure wizardry to vault his squad to a nearly game-winning and series-sealing play.

Robert Williams III exhibited his explosive behavior again as he rose up just inside the free-throw line to deal out a punishing and-one slam dunk with no regard for human life, or his own safety.

To cap off an 8-0 Boston run, Jaylen Brown dove to the cup with some bounce in his step as he levitated over the hoop before violently throwing down the two-handed tomahawk to swing momentum the Celtics’ way in the waning moments.

Montrezl Harrell may be an undersized big man but he compensates for what he lacks in height with unreal tenacity and determination which was evidenced with this breath-taking blocked dunk on ascending star Michael Porter Jr.

Building his brand as the league’s best playmaking center, Nikola Jokic was dropping head-turning dimes to his teammates as he has done time and time again throughout his short 5-year career.
