Jazz game winners at the buzzer: 2 Knicks total wins: 2

/

Tonight in stunning fashion the Utah Jazz hold off the Knicks comeback thanks largely to the heroics of young Trey Burke. First Carmelo had to do some heroics of his own. Melo finished the game with 46 points 7 rebounds and the game tying 3 pointer leaving only 2 seconds left on the clock. But the hardship for the New York Knicks continues as they ball is inbounded to Utah's guard Trey Burke who sinks the step back jumper at the buzzer. This win gives the Jazz their second game winning buzzer beater of the season, the other by Gordan Hayward vs the Cavaliers last week. The Knicks meanwhile fall to 2-8, second last in the conference only to the winless Philadelphia 76ers.

In a game on November 2nd 2014 between the Portland Trailblazers and Golden State Warriors comic book nerd and starting center for the blazers Robin Lopez found himself apart of 2 posters. First one for his monster dunk over Andrew Bogut and then one for Klay Thompson rising up for the throw down late in the 4th.  

Carmelo Anthony scores his 20,000th point

/

Tonight in a game between the New York Knicks and the Charlotte Hornets history was made as Carmelo Anthony becomes only the 40th player in NBA history to score over 20,000 points. Carmelo Anthony is the 6th youngest player to pass the 20,000 mark and 3 of those 6 players are still playing in the league today. Surprisingly the two mainly known as prolific scorers, Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony, actually reached the 20,000 plateau later than LeBron James who has the reputation of being an MVP candidate every year because of his skills on the defensive and offensive end. Few people see James as a prolific scorer and many forget he has the potential to finish among the top 10 scorers in NBA history. Still nobody can deny that Kobe, LeBron, and Carmelo are all straight up ballers.

Kirk Hinrich Halloween Hustle vs Cavs

/

Kirk Hinrich brought the hustle and heart in a game vs the Cleveland Cavaliers on Halloween of 2014. He finished the game with 20 points on 7/11 shooting with 2 rebounds 1 assist and 2 steals. That plus some hustle plays that you won't find on the stat sheet. It's these intangibles that make Hinrich one of Tom Thibodeau's favourite players, and one of my favourite Bulls. Sadly for the Bulls they lost 114-108 in OT but it wasn't for Kirk's lack of effort as shown in this video. 

Charlotte Hornets buzzing after 2 clutch shots by Kemba Walker

Kemba first hit the huge game tying 3 with 1.6 seconds remaining in the 4th and his clutch play continued into OT as he went one on one against Brandon Knight and stepped back for the game winning mid range jumper.
