The final showing of the 2020 NBA Playoffs 1st Round was delivered Wednesday as the Thunder and Rockets engaged in Game 7 festivities which dropped entertaining nuggets throughout the whole 48 minutes. And it was open season for the Heat as they shot down the Bucks with grade-A displays of 3PT shooting and aggressive takes to the rack.
Enjoy the best highlights from Wednesday’s NBA Playoff action all in one place:
In an off-color outing for the NBA’s scoring champ, James Harden showed tremendous hustle on a big-time block when it mattered most against Lu Dort who had been clamping up the Beard and leading OKC’s scoring efforts all game long.

Perhaps it’s not the most riveting highlight reel, but it’s definitely one of interest as Milwaukee fell at the hands of a referee foul call which put Jimmy Butler on the free-throw line with the score knotted up and no time remaining right after a questionable foul call on Khris Middleton’s 3-point attempt with less than five seconds left.

Another game, another world-class contribution from the National Basketball Players Association president Chris Paul. CP3 became the oldest player ever to post a triple-double in a Game 7 and he did so on circus-type dribble moves and gorgeous dishes to his teammates.

Leave it to Robert Covington to have the team-high in scoring on a squad with two recent MVPs. RoCo rocked the Thunder with a down pour of triples (6-11 3PT) leading to the team’s advancement to Round 2 of the playoffs.

Known as the blanket who covered Harden, Lu Dort requested the Rockets to open the cash register as he made them pay for leaving him open from beyond the arc as he scored the most points in a Game 7 ever by an undrafted rookie since the draft was induced in 1947.

More often than not, fans will find Bam Adebayo living above the rim at least once a game. This was the case on this astounding alley-oop that he smashed down with authority which added wood to the Heat’s fire.

Goran Dragic resumed bartender duty on Wednesday by serving up a smorgasbord of sweet shots from deep and near the cylinder which helped the Heat take a convincing 2-0 lead in the series on No. 1 seeded Milwaukee.

Picking up where he left off on Monday, the DPOY Giannis Antetokounmpo showed great poise as used his 7-foot-3 wingspan to send Jimmy Butler’s layup attempt careening off the backboard.
