March 11th, 2020 was remembered for the NBA suspending the 2019-20 season indefinitely after Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19 following some immature behavior, which initially led to the delay of the start of the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Utah Jazz matchup but ended up turning into a 141-day hiatus in all of sports. Vince Carter brought the Vinsanity in his last home game ever by going out on a major high note, while Luka Doncic and Mike Scott saw it fit to take their games straight to the rim with some ferocious hammers while Boban Marjanovic had a career game.
