I am a fan of Golden Hoops.
Here is Durant leaving on Tucker.
He turns. He shoots.
Yes!
With one second remaining!
The second left.
Durant hits a three!
And Milwaukee has one timeout.
They call for the timeout.
Durant.
For three.
Comes up with an air ball.
With three-tenths of a second remaining.
And Milwaukee bucks.
With a 113-111 lead.
And that's just fatigue right there. You got it.
Durant. Oh, wow!
The Durantula just threw it down over Bertans.
And I just said it. That's what I thought.
Griffin gets the step.
Oh, Blake Griffin!
The smash!
Three-point shots.
Some yams.
Blake Griffin.
One of those, I think he was looking for a foul here.
Now with ten, as the Spurs cut it to eight.
Hard.
Steve Nash continues to preach connectivity.
Lob it up.
Oh, Jordan!
A grown man's jam!
If the Nets could just...
Get into a set. Out of the timeout.
Harden.
Jeff Green. Oh!
That's a man's jam!
Uncle Jeff Hard to the hole!
Time finishes this season in his 13th year in the league.
A minute 14 to play in this first half.
Kyrie.
Oh, in his bag!
Kyrie Irving.
This is unbelievable.
To have a guy on his team.
Loses it.
Walking the tightrope.
Oh, Blake Griffin!
Razzle dazzle!
Oh, next level!
Kevin Durant!
The rack attack!
Play of the year in the regular season finale.
Razzle dazzle, flavor, and bring it home.
Working around the perimeter for Levert.
Rolling to the rim, Jared Allen.
Not anyone fully was aware that they needed to come up and foul
or they were just slow in keeping up with the ball movement by the Nets.
But nonetheless, Collins was looking to do it.
Durant goes quick.
Some breathing room for the Nets.
Getting into the paint, so the ball, the paint, react out, cover the line.
Thanks so much, Tom.
Thank you.
Mike, back to you.
All right, Malika. What a play from Claxton!
Chance to help the Lakers now.
Harrell gets away.
Oh, blocked by Griffin.
Harrell gets it back.
Shot won't go.
Out of bounds.
Go the other way.
Feed by Smart after the initial deflection.
I'll get a check with Malika.
You look at a lot of Laveen's points, they have been tough shots.
Challenge shots.
Ooh, James, the dive.
Finish by...
This defense, almost like Brooklyn looked disinterested on defense
during the rest of the season, but now...
Here's Durant for Harden.
One on the shot clock.
Harden's side is away.
Score!
Oh, gosh.
Now Irving running the show.
It didn't lead him out of the game.
And what a layup.
Are you kidding me?
And then his buddy, look at Dee right here, changing it.
I mean, that is...
Mad turnaround for Griffin.
Ooh, beautiful pass.
Tyler Johnson in the corner.
Completes the play with the trifecta.
This pass, I mean, look at right through the arms.
Sees Tyler Johnson.
Irving has 22 to lead the Nets.
And a new net high for him.
13 assists.
Oh!
Jeff Green, big time flush.
How about this?
Fake to the right, up the gut.
Misses the second, but the Pelicans have tied it at 33.
Griffin at the buzzer.
It'll count, says James Capers.
The remainder of the year, as far as the Pacers are concerned,
but I would have to believe this guy, he's been a great...
Requested defense by the walking out of the land.
Fires and hits!
The shot clock running down.
He hits...
Been out 552 days.
This is his first game in nearly two years.
Starts it off...
Getting into the face of Kyrie.
Behind the back!
Oh!
Big Jared Allen!
Seems to have his defensive instincts, if nothing else, back.
As he grabs the rebound and then loses it to Kyrie Irving.
Jordan with the reverse!
The Clippers were trying to retain him in free agency.
They apparently had him locked up in his own Houston home.
Yeah.
That was...
Middleton.
Durant for three.
Oh!
Blake Griffin!
Secures it.
A chance for the Nets to take the lead.
James Harden for three.

A bomb for three from the pier.
They're going up.
Oh my goodness!
Hayward came down so hard.
Oh!
Hayward broke his leg.
Hayward has broken his leg.

And that is how quickly a season can change.
This is unbelievable.
Oh my gosh.
I mean...
With 6.45 remaining, Tatum drives down and throws it down!
Wow!
Haunted LeBron James.
Hayward knocks it down.
A big extension of summer that will start 2019.

A little crossover.
Step back.
Wide open.
And it's good!

And it's for Brown.
But Rogier takes it on himself.
And he puts Bledsoe on skates.

Horford.
He's gonna take it.

Taking his time.
Got the shot blocked.
Oh!

He catches the ball and does a 360 almost.
You don't see that very often.

He came up hobbling.
Had to be helped off the court.
Grabbing down low by his right heel.
It was the right calf that had to miss a month.
To the playoffs.
They don't call us to be fast.

He's good again.
Oh, my goodness.
And they are just deliberately passing out shots to get him.
Yes, 52 points.
Timeout Bulls.
Back with 4.53 left.
Cousins didn't want that trail three initially because the two-hand hammer
