March 24th, 2021 was highlighted by the Colts re-signing WR T.Y. Hilton on a one-year deal to solidify their receiving corps for 2021. Tampa Bay brought back Ndamukong Suh on a one-year deal and extended OT Donovan Smith as the Super Bowl champs look to run it back. Boston almost made a monumental comeback against Milwaukee but Daniel Theis blew the game-winning shot as the Bucks won their eighth straight game. Caris LeVert came through for Indiana by delivering the dagger during a signature performance against DET.
Evan Fournier hit the game-winner against Phoenix as Devin Booker missed his GW exactly four years after his historic 70-pt game. Kyle Lowry may have played his last game in Toronto and was seen FaceTiming Drake during the post-game press conference as they blew out Denver, Luka dropped no-look dimes in Dallas’ dominant win over MIN, and Kawhi only missed three shots (9-12 FG) against his old team in San Antonio. The Houston Astros also extended SP Lance McCullers to be one of their workhorses going forward.
