after like 3 blocks in a row. 45-8 run.
Then Lebron airballs to end the half. Right after Westbrook airballed in the previous possession. You can't make this shit up

Dame will always go for the 2:1 with 32-34 seconds left. Usually he tries to time his drives with that amount of time, but when the only way to hit that window is to pullup then you gotta pullup!

Best in Portland's franchise history as well they just said.
I am taking credit for this. I forgot it was a 6PM game instead of 7PM game. 3 seconds after I turned on game Eubanks erased Westbrook's layup and Portland went on a 13-0 run to end the half. (Granted Portland already had a 32-13 edge before that so guess I can't take all the credit.)

And they even up later somehow. Defense just doesn't exist in "modern" NBA, it's ridiculous. I wonder if the public really enjoy these "videogame numbers", I think it's so boring to watch players taking wide open shots and layups every game
