With the game tied at 89 with under a second to go overtime for the Wizards and the Magic seemed imminent. I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise though that the Wizards used some magic, and a magnificently drawn up play, to get Bradley Beal open for the alley-oop that gave Washington the 91-89 win. Beal be ballin.
Down by 2 points in overtime with under 3 seconds to go Blake Griffin catches the ball off the inbounds and decides to shoot a 3 pointer. The shot hits the rim and bounces up but Griffin uses the wizard skills he gained while at Hogwarts that one year to get the ball to fall. I feel so bad for the Phoenix Suns for what happened but the league needs to start clamping down on wizardry maybe Griffin should be fined somehow for game tampering idk.
I hate myself a little for that title but I'm still going with it. Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to impress the world as he uses his go go gadget arms to extend and slam it over Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat. I don't think Bosh realized he was going up to block a partial alien before it was too late. I have Giannis on my fantasy team and although he may be near the bottom of my squad it's plays like this that keep me from trading him away.
Walker seems to be making a name for himself with game winners although this may be the first one I've seen from him that didn't come off of a step-back jumper. With 4 seconds to go and the Hornets down by 1 Kemba gets the ball outside of the 3 point line and makes a beeline (get it? hornets, beeline. God I hate myself more for that than the title) to the rim and lays it in as the clock expires giving Charlotte the 103-102 win.
Monta Ellis continues being on a heater in tonight's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Mavericks fought back after being down 9 in the 4th quarter and were even up by two with under 30 seconds to go. Brandon Knight stepped up for the Bucks however and hit a step back jumper to tie the game with 8.1 seconds remaining. I think Ellis was tired of OT games in the last week and a bit (OT vs the Knicks and 2OT the night before vs the Bulls) and made sure to hit the game winning shot with no time remaining. Ellis finished the game with 23pts 2reb and 7ast and possibly the biggest shot of the Mavericks season thus far. I think Parsons shares my sentiment.
Toooooo much MONTA!!!!

Tied at 86 in the final seconds of regulation versus the Charolette Hornets Rodney Stucky was looking to win the game but air balls the jumper. Thankfully for Indiana Solomon Hill grabs the miss and flips it over his back to beat the buzzer and win the game. Hill may have only had 6 PTs and 5rebs in his 38 minutes of play but his late game heroics give the Pacers an 88-86 victory.
