For me the unsung heroes of this mavs win, are the center duo of Gafford and Lively, who did everything they could to limit Jokic. Not just by playing as physical defense as the refs allowed, but also by crashing the offensive boards (7) and running the fast break as often as possible to force Jokic to keep pace with them.

[@AK-cp6br]

All Jamal had to do was shooting at the buzzer and the overtime was guaranteed. Amazing shot by Kyrie.

UNDERSTANDING THE GAME. Luv me some Kyrie but at @9:03 you can see who is wiser in last-minute tactics and not just skill which is what LeBron was trying to teach him (Kye is running to make a play and Luka is calling for a last-minute time-out).

[@franzchuongco]

THJ thought it was his brick moment

[@Amango-xb2hu]

I see what you're saying but I believe he was trying to make sure that THJ doesn't take a shot and pass the ball to him and wait until Luka and/or coach was going to call for a timeout as it is possible that he knew that a timeout was going to be called.

[@untexan]

Denver played it out, they didn’t have time to talk about what they would do if the Nuggets missed so THJ figured he had to go after he got the ball. Luka and Kidd were signaling for the timeout before he even landed.

I apologize, but you're mistaken. I consider myself the ultimate Michael Jordan fan and have followed his career since his North Carolina days. Additionally, I've closely observed Kobe Bryant from the outset. Being from Cleveland, I've had the privilege of witnessing Kyrie Irving and LeBron James from their early days. In my ranking, it goes like this: 1. Kyrie Irving 2. LeBron James 3. Kobe Bryant 4. Michael Jordan I vividly remember both Irving and James effortlessly shooting with their left hands during practice sessions. I must admit, it was truly remarkable. However, when it comes to the variety and innovation of left-handed shots, Irving and James surpass even Kobe and MJ.
