‘The Best in Sports’ is a daily PSO original series showcasing the best highlights, facts, and stories going on in the land of the NFL, NBA, & MLB every day. Get a recap on EVERYTHING that happened yesterday here.
Here is the best from January 12, 2020:
Kansas City looked like their old selves in the first quarter on Sunday, making mistakes left & right under the pressure of a home Playoff game. However, this time it isn’t Alex Smith or Matt Cassel or even Trent Green under center. It’s reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes, and he showed the world why he’s the best player in the game with his performance against Houston, scoring 3 TDs in 3 minutes, 7 TDs on 7 consecutive drives, and the most points in a non-OT Playoff game in the 21st century. The KC Cannon led a Chiefs comeback for the ages.
FINAL: The @Chiefs are heading to their second consecutive AFC Championship! #NFLPlayoffs #HOUvsKC

The Seahawks looked like they were making another one of their signature comebacks, but Rodgers came through when it mattered most, late in the game on 3rd down. Not once, but twice.

Kyrie Irving made his long-anticipated return from a shoulder injury on Sunday, and only missed 1 shot during his 20 minutes. Uncle Drew didn’t show much rust in this one.

DeRozan’s dunk wasn’t the only thing memorable about this SA-TOR game that featured the return of likely All-Star Pascal Siakam, making his own comeback from a near-month absence. San Antonio completed an 18-point comeback after Marco Bellinelli splashed the go-ahead 3-pointer with under 30 seconds remaining.

Both of these teams started slow but are starting to turn it around this season. While the Jazz still have WCF aspirations, the Grizzlies would be very proud of a Playoff appearance in ROY favorite Ja Morant’s first season.
