NBA Highlights/YouTube
April 24th, 2022 was highlighted by the Nuggets avoiding a sweep behind Nikola Jokic’s MVP performance (37 PTS/8 REB/6 AST). The Pelicans clamped CP3 (4 PTS, 2-8 FG) en route to evening the series at 2-2, and the Bucks beat the Bulls by 20+ points for the second straight game. The Heat’s defense proved too tough for Trae again as the Hawks were blown out. Buxton and Jeremy Pena hit walk-off HR’s, while Winker won it for Seattle, plus Gio Urshela & Bobby Whit Jr. made sick plays of their own. Schwarber also was irate at the umpire on SNB.
