Only three small games tonight, but an incredible result that we should be thinking about for most of the day. Send the big summary? Submit the big summary.
THE RESULTS OF THE NIGHT
WHAT TO REMEMBER
- Stripped of Kawhi Leonard who still wouldn’t play two games in two days, the Clippers lost to Miami. On the Heat side, the Butler/Adebayo duo were in good shape, that same day, and the Heat eventually moved back into the “play in” spots.
- The Spurs won their second game against Houston in 36 days. The neighbors party, as they say.
- Incredible game between Nuggets and Blazers. Damian Lillard had activated the Dame Time mode (40 points and 12 assists at 9/17 from the parking lot), had sent a lot of crazy shots in the money time, but in the end it was Nikola Jokic (33/10/9 ) and, above all, Jamal Murray (author of the 3-point winner one second from the siren) who ruined this Dame Time and offered the victory to the Nuggets.
Top pick in TTFL: Damian Lillard
