On Wednesday, a double-header of NBA playoff action brought an all-out brawl between Boston and Toronto which ended in a nail-biting double OT finish that saw the Raptors force a Game 7. Then Game 4 of the Clippers-Nuggets contest played a different tune with L.A. breaking it wide open early on as Kawhi Leonard channeled his two-time Finals MVP level of play to take down Denver.
Enjoy the best highlights from Wednesday’s NBA Playoff action all in one place:
Toronto and Boston put on a show in the closing moments of Game 6 where the Raptors clawed their way to a hard-fought win to extend the series to seven games. It looked bleak at times, but they persevered behind Norman Powell’s 15 OT points and Lowry’s leadership.
