Im watching the Lakers vs 76ers game and man is this DeAnthony Melton kid lighting up the scoreboard. He is 8/11 from 3 point range on his way to 30 points. I dont think the Sixers wouldve won this game without him. A great performance for a relatively unknown player against multiple hall of famers. Hes going to be one happy guy when he gets home tonight. Im happy for him, but would have preferred a Lakers win as theyve been playing great lately.
I'm surprised that this game went to OT, I was watching in the 4th quarter but the Sixers already had a good lead, I'm surprised when I come back that the game was already in overtime. Still plenty of time left, but it's still the sixers who are leading in the OT period.
Ya, I didnt expect them to take it to overtime. I think when I made that post they were down by 8 with under a minute left. Almost a great comeback.
How about Zion tonight also? The guy was putting on a show. I think the MVP race might now be between Luka, Giannis and Zion. If Zion stays healthy the Pelicans are going to be making some noise in the postseason.
That'd probably have ended as one of the biggest flop in NBA history If Los Angeles Lakers had been able to secure that win, having come backing from 9 points down with less than 30 secs to go, I felt it was pretty much game over already for 76ers after Anthony Davis was sent to the line with just 3.4 sec left and AD proceeded to score the first FT only to send the game to OT, it still wouldn't have been short of a famous victory if only the Lakers could win it in OT, but they lost all their composure and momentum as the OT got started and couldn't even get any bucket until their 9th attempt.
