NBA/YouTube
February 14th, 2021 was highlighted by Damian Lillard‘s Portland Trail Blazers edging out Luka Doncic‘s Mavericks after Dame time came up clutch and Luka missed a wide-open game-tying 3PA with under five seconds left. Nikola Jokic racked up a triple-double as the Nuggets blew out the LeBron-led Lakers after Anthony Davis departed early with an Achilles injury in the WCF rematch.
Pascal Siakam missed the game-tying layup from point-blank range against Minnesota, Giannis’ triple-double wasn’t enough to beat the West’s bottom-seeded Thunder, and Bradley Beal went off against his hometown ally Jayson Tatum who played awful in a blowout loss to one of the league’s worst teams. Oakland added reinforcements to their bullpen with the signing of Sergio Romo and re-signing of Yusmeiro Petit.
