The Most INSANE Endings Of The 2025-26 NBA Season | Pt. 2

Off an inbounds, but Denver's also out of timeouts, so they have to inbound down here. Reeves now with a 30-point game, and it's a two-point lead for Denver, 5.2 remaining. Again, both teams out of timeouts. And I think subbing in eight right now tells you what they're going to do. You put him in for the size down there. If you're gonna play this straight up, you'd probably want five defenders in that could switch everything. You put eight in to try to get this offensive rebound. Reeves hits it off, gets it back! Reeves on the drive, he puts it up, it's good! Nuggets with a chance. Ball caught, Murray at the buzzer! Overtime here at L.A.! The season for the Lakers, they were the only team in the league that had not played overtime. And came back from eight down to the fourth to do it. Dotchage to Reeves, Reeves tries a three. Off the mark, Aiton tips it to himself, goes back up and in! Quick putback from DeAndre Aiton. Have you ever done that in a jump ball, Lex? No, I usually just grab the guy. Dotchage, double team, deflected and stolen by Brown! Two on one break, Brown goes inside! And a foul on Smart. His left hand contacted the basketball. First time he's fouled out in six years. Two clutch free throws there from Brown, still two and a half remaining. We're tied again here at overtime. Denver, 0 for 6 from the field here at overtime. Dotchage to James, James the drive, inside Aiton, layup, got it! Big bucket from DeAndre Aiton! And the Lakers back up by two. Coming up on a minute remaining. Gordon. And a foul away from the ball, it's gonna go against DeAndre Aiton. So it'll be a side out. Under a minute left. Jokic wants Gordon to come on this side. James now switches up on Jokic. Gordon step back, three pointer, it's good! Aaron Gordon with his fifth free pointer! And Denver back up by one. 27 points for Gordon in 34 minutes. Well beyond his minutes restriction. Dotchage to Smart. Smart tries a three pointer, bang! Smart from deep, back up by two! Timeout Denver! As they battle for playoff positioning. Aiton gets up on Jokic, Jokic drives. Backs in, turns, spins, blocked by Aiton! 23 for the game. A great defensive play from Aiton, right back to Jokic. Jokic holding. One on one with Aiton. Sees an opening layup, banks it home! Tie game again, with 15 seconds remaining! Nikola Jokic, 22 points, 16 boards, 14 assists. Dotchage touching Moore, Reeves and Smart. Reeves gets free. Reeves guarded by Brown. They're gonna hold it for the final shot, try and win it here in overtime. Reeves to Dotchage. Spencer Jones on him, here's the double. Dotchage on the drive, step back, puts it up, puts it in! It's by two, Jokic fires it down the floor! Doing his cards there. Now they go to set a screen. Jokic looking, finds Hardaway, Hardaway launches it up! And that's it! The Lakers survive in overtime. An umbrella against the Nuggets, and they win the tiebreaker against Denver. What the Suns think of Rasheard Fleming, the fact that they have a rookie out there with that type of size, guarding De'Aaron Fox. First free throw, excellent from the free throw line tonight. It's a 10-2 San Antonio run. Iguodara, Devin Booker. Fading away. Sides the test. Looking. Vassell! Ball foul. Push off, disperse of a challenge. Mitch Johnson reviewing. Phoenix player to get to the basketball. Therefore the challenge is unsuccessful. Time for the remainder of the game. Phoenix win by a three-throw line extending with 24 in the shot clock. Phoenix basketball. When they tie, it means they have to shut the Suns down. This last minute and 30. Booker double. Three. It's good. Good win. It's a short corner. Kicks out. Devin Hawks was wide open for a layup. Another 30-point night for Fleming in his young career. First free throw good. Spurs playing without Steph Castle tonight, out with the hip. Phoenix banged up as well. There's Steph. One of the premier two-way players, two-way players. Yeah, yeah. It's accepted. Victor is 12 of 12. At the charity stripe, under one minute remaining. Three-point game. Gillespie has had it going tonight. Hawks trying to stay in front of him. Gillespie. Kick out. Gets it back from Goodwin. Shot clock at five. Goodwin just hit the big three a moment ago. It's Booker. No fouls here. Booker. No. Fouls as Gillespie goes for it. 30 seconds. Fox drives. Off for the two and gets it. How about Jordan Knox? San Antonio down one, 26.6 left. Gillespie into the backcourt. Champagne chasing. Oh, that's a trap. Back over to Gillespie. That's a dangerous pass there too. Spurs trying to double up top with Harker and Fox. Booker. Fox takes down. 10 on the shot clock. Booker trapped. Jordan Knox calling for a timeout. And he got it. Gillespie. Looking. Fleming. And Wemenyama fouled Fleming, the rookie. 57. Missed that first one, but that second one is a whole lot more pressure. Fleming's second-round pick by the Suns. 31st overall acquired in one of those draft picks. Point score at St. Joseph's. Spurs have a timeout left to come up defensive board here. Got a shot. San Antonio down by one. With seven. No crazy fouls here. The Suns take a desperation shot without fouling. The bench players is post. In double figures for the Warriors tonight. He's got 10. Heald has 14. Santos. What a spin. What a spin and finish for Guy Santos. I'm so big. Crushing loss if we were to come to that. Maxey trying to prevent it. Need some help though. Spinning. And laying it up and in. 35 for Tyrese Maxey. With the ball in his hands. You trust him to make plays. Ninth 35-point game of the season for Tyrese. Warriors still up one. Spencer. Let's fly. And drills it. Something up. Let's see how the execution goes down. Got to get it in. Comes in to Grimes. Driving baseline. And he's fouled. And he finishes. A massive make for Quinton Grimes and the Sixers. QDOT does just that. 98-97. Golden State in front. Defensive exchange isn't over until you get the rebound. You've got to rebound. Golden State, 23 straight trips without a turnover. And the Sixers force one here. Elton. Fake. There is the turnover the Sixers needed. The Sixers have 23 points off of the Warriors' turn so far. Halfway down. It pops back out. Foul on the floor. I think it was on Adem. Adem was crashing. Not on the shot. That's who Tivin's pointing to. So, correction made. This is the first. It's all night. Knocked it to the rookie. 36.3 to go. Warriors up one. And Melton knocks it back to post. And then Steve Kerr calls time. Santos to inbound for Golden State. Hits it into the former Sixer, De'Anthony Melton. If they're smart, they'll take a lot of their time. Take as much of the shot clock as you can if you're the Golden State Warriors. That's what they're doing right now. Down to 10. Down to 7. De'Anthony Melton can't finish. He touched it last. Sixers ball. So, the Sixers get the stop they needed. I have to review. The ball last touches the fingertips of Edgecombe. The call is being overturned to Golden State ball. The challenge is successful. The game clock is correct at 14.2. We're going to put the shot clock at 14. Brother back home with an injury. Spencer gets it into post. Post, over the heel. The Sixers foul with 11.2. If not, you foul. Warriors up 1. No fouls to give now for the Sixers. In it comes to post. Edgecombe knocked it away. The Sixers thought they had the clean swipe. And Nick Nurse is calling time. They're going to lose his challenge now. He is furious. Upon review, Edgecombe does get to the basketball legally. And the play is being overturned to a no call. In the immediate aftermath of the play, Post grabs the ball. It'll be Golden State ball on the side here with 10.1. It's a successful challenge for Philadelphia. And they will have one further challenge if needed. They get the timeout back. What an end to this one here in South Philly. Spencer again to inbounds. Warriors don't have a timeout. In it comes. Loose ball picked up by Edgecombe. And Nick Nurse calls time. The steal counts. And the Sixers are going to have a chance to win this one with 8.2 to play. Edgecombe to inbounds. In it comes to Tyrese Maxey. Guarded by his former teammates. Tyrese Maxey to win the game. Way outside. Brunson double team Harper. Brunson shakes him off. Swings for Hart. Five to shoot. Hart going to do it himself. String music. Connects from long range. Just got back in the game. Called his own number, coach. That delivered. They've got their largest lead of the night. Eight. Harper on three. That's his fourth one tonight. He had made 10 on the season coming into tonight. 115 to 110. Nix. He lost the ball. He has not come back in the game. They took Clarkson out. Put Koelig back in to get an extra ball. But Bridges would certainly be in the game normally in this situation. He's at the end of the bench. Wambunyama. Off the heel. Tracked down by Harper. And Harper can't finish it. Adenobe with a box out. Koelig. Ball handling. Towns fakes on the pass. And now they settle in with two minutes to go. Koelig to drive. Hooks a pass to the corner. Adenobe. Yes! On 18 to 110. 28 for OG. Wambunyama can't answer. Adenobe couldn't grab it. Out of bounds. Off of the Spurs. And there will be a challenge. Who touched it last? ...determine that the ball was last touched by New York. Therefore, this is a successful challenge. The ball will be awarded to San Antonio. On the baseline, please reset the shot clock to 14. 144 to play in the Cup Championship. Castle will lob it high. Right to Towns. The Spurs turn it over. Brunson. Adenobe. Off the side of the rim. Adenobe knocks it away. Who wants it more? 23 offensive rebounds. 23. Brunson drives. Brunson floats. Off the back of the iron. And it's controlled by San Antonio. Fox. Gets to the rim. But he banged it off the iron. Brunson brings it across. And a foul is called. You're the reason that we're in this position. Hart. Defended by Wambunyama. We approach one minute to go. Yeah, Tyler Kolek's happy. His dad's happier. He's going to get a really nice car out of this. Shot clock is down to four. Brunson. Short. And rebounded by Vassell. Towns hits the deck. They get a tie up with 54.5. Towns jumping it up. Knocks it over to Kolek. And he lost it down low. Hitting the deck, Vassell. And now the Spurs are on the move. 47 seconds left. Fox a three. Off the rim. Hart flies in for the rebound. Never a doubt when Josh Hart is around the ball, he's going to go get that rebound. Yes, he is. To Kolek. They're playing keep away. And a foul is called. Sending Kolek to the free throw line with 34.3. And this game. Show me the money. And you know, I think tonight, if we were doing it just on this game, I think we'll see him get that award tonight. Josh Hart just gave you the show me the money signal. And they're 30 seconds away from it. Castles three. Doesn't go. Adenobe claims it. Up ahead for Kolek. He's going to lay it in. With 21.3 left. He's got 14 points. Five rebounds. Four assists. And only one turnover tonight. In 20 minutes. Hart hits the three. We've got 10 seconds to go. Adenobe to Kolek. Inside Hart. They're still playing for the Diff. It's over. And that's five assists for Kolek. And the Spurs will dribble it out. The New York Knicks. Are NBA Cup champions. Don't mean something, coach. Look at this. This is incredible. Not inbound. Inbounder is Shangoon. And Sheppard, James is there to greet him. Second body, Hachimora. And he turns it over. James slaps it over to Cunard. Aggressive defensively now. You can't foul. Seven seconds left. Houston looking for the win. Shangoon spins. Shangoon off the side of the backboard. LeBron grabs it and calls a timeout. The Lakers are going to have to leave after not having played. Marcus Smart. Will trigger it. 101-101. 1.2 to go. Smart tosses. James up in the air. Overtime at Houston. He did the same thing on the tip. He holds Shangoon's arm up. And then jumps. He's done it twice. The opening tip of the overtime. Go to the other side. 104-101. L.A. One minute gone by in overtime. Shangoon hands to Smith. He'll drive it. Pull up game. It's off the mark. Cunard's got the board. Catch. Hachimora is fouled. 103. Lakers. Shangoon. Back in on Aiton. Shangoon spins. Floats it up. And gets it. 43 points. 14 rebounds. For Alpharette Shangoon. Two-point lead for the Lakers. Under two minutes to go. We're in overtime. We said they needed a big night out of Shangoon. He has certainly come through. James. One-on-one with Shangoon. Will he look to drive it or pull up? He's going to drive it. James hangs. Partially blocked. Let's go over to Shepard. Shepard floats it up. Short. Rebound. James battling with Smith. But Shepard claims it. Houston holds onto it. Spin. Second spin. Strip to the ball. Shangoon. James goes down to get it. L.A.'s got a two-point lead. We're going to hit one minute to go in overtime. Smart for James. Shepard goes for the steal. Chucklock is down to three. James. Off the rim. Smart gets in there and is fouled. Marcus Smart timed it. Smart gets the roll on the first attempt. Marcus Smart was outstanding in game two. He had 25 points. Five three-pointers. He's backed it up with another strong performance. It's a well-known fact in NBA history no team has ever come back down 0-3 to win a best-of-seven series. Shepard. Clean look. Short. Rebounded by Smith. Back out for Shepard. One dribble. Throws it up. And in. It's a one-possession game. 28.6 to go. Smart grabs it. Straddling that sideline. Eason nearly had a steal. And a foul is called from behind. Smart at the free-throw line. Still plenty of time here for the Rockets. They've got one time out left. I would not use it here. Marcus Smart just makes play after play after play for L.A. Goes one out of two. The Lakers are up by four. Not need a three here, but you do need to go pretty quick. Shepard. He's met by Smart. Into the hands of Shengun. Ten to twelve seconds left. The three ball is off. And that should do it. You got to inbound the ball against pressure. LeBron James to inbound. Great passer. Your most experienced guy. What matters is to get it in safely. So they advance it off the timeout. 9.4 on the clock. Lakers are up by four. James. Bounces for Kennard. Kennard trying to fight through it. And James do it again from a similar spot. Guarded by Shengun. This time they're deploying players in different areas. So James has options. Pump fake. The bounce is errant. Shepard ahead. James knocks it away. And James is out of bounds with 3.9. How do I score quickly? And it does not have to be a three. You just need something super quick. I'd almost look to get something going to the basket. And then see if you can get a steal on the inbounds. Thompson. Trigger in. Eason. Fires. It's off the mark. And the Lakers win it. Difficult shots in the history of basketball. And the miss is right at the rim. Shepard takes the lead. .7 on the game clock. Warriors down three. Curry is in the backcourt. You see Murray at midcourt trying to keep from getting a catch. Here's Curry. Deep trip ball. It's good. He comes to get it. Defended by Draymond Green. We already had one game tonight on ESPN. Go to double overtime. Are we headed for extra time here tonight in San Fran? Or will Denver win it at the horn? Six seconds to go. Murray off the Jokic screen. Jokic with three. Jokic puts it up. Missed the shot. And most of that coming in the first half. Curry. A little airspace. That's all he needed. The last 16 points for the Golden State Warriors. We talked about it, Dave. It's constant motion. Constant improvisation. You never know which way he's going. Gordon fights through the double and scores plus a foul. Aaron Gordon with a chance to tie it at the line. He's got 47. Aaron Gordon is yet to appear in an All-Star game. That may change this year. Had a terrific season when healthy last year. And a career high 48 points tonight. We are tied at 123. The most ever scored by a Denver player in a season opener. Curry near the logo. He thought about it. Instead drives. Moving to his right. Can't bank it home. Possession to the Nuggets with Brown getting the loose ball. Jokic calling for it. Goes in green. And scores over him to give Denver a two-point lead. Pretty frustrated at the non-call. Draymond Green right in his airspace. Butler on the cut. To the corner and Horford and Horford got it through. And his home debut with the Warriors. A little smile across Steve Kerr's face after that bucket because of the space provided by Al Horford. Warriors up 1, 245 to go. They double Murray and he turns it with a step through. Kaminga on the floor for the Warriors. Johnson, Jokic, Brown, Gordon and Murray, the five starters for Denver on the court. It's past Kaminga. Kings and makes it home. Tremendous read. That second defender was looking to trap and they had a trap with size. He wisely spins off it and goes to the cup. That's a tough finish. 25 and 10 assists for Murray. Denver back within one. Here's Curry. 31 points for him since halftime. Shot clock inside of 10. Curry behind the head to Butler. Butler takes it to Jokic. Looking for some help. Fires underneath. They're going to say goaltending sequence by the Warriors and Kaminga particularly. There's an exchange right before Jokic makes the catch to get a better matchup on him. This smart defensive basketball by Golden State. Curry with seven to shoot. Rolls it to Butler. They swing it. Horford in the corner with three. Butler up top. Answer. No good. Nobody picks up Curry. He takes it all the way. And boy if he continues this ascension this will be a team to reckon with in the West. Gordon all the way to the basket. He's got 15. And now Brown fouls Curry. Year 17. 37 years old. Second team all NBA last year. And again missed the way Butler was playing and how that group was coming together. You heard the guys in the studio talking about the lack of size for Golden State. No Horford tomorrow night. Right back to back. He will sit. Not going to play back to back at all this season. Put back by Brown. An official timeout. Had to put five tenths of a second back on the clock. Since the 2.45 mark of regulation, Steph Curry scored 17 points. He outscored Denver during that span by himself. And the Warriors win it in overtime. 137-131. Offensively to make him work for it. Luka just one for 11 this half. One for 11. All that means is he do. Exactly right. And here he is. Open is LeBron. Down the middle he goes. Laying up and in. A wraparound left handed shot by LeBron. And it's a one point game. LeBron's got a dozen. Two minutes to play. We're at it again. Going down to the finish. Hope you're enjoying it on Spectrum Sportsnet. Purple and gold trying to get another W. Here he goes over eight and he scores. Remember the first game between the two came down to the final shot of the game. And Orlando wound up winning by a point. Luka. He's inside. Second bucket of the half is a big one. Minute and a half left. Now your defense has to turn the screws. Two timeouts remaining for each team. Lakers have a foul to give. Here in the final two minutes. And a challenge remains for Orlando. Ben Carroll plenty of time on the shot clock. No rush to get into the action. Now it's to Wendell Carter Jr. He was the one who hit the big shot back in Los Angeles. But he didn't score in the first half but he's got 13 second half points. Gotchich. Coming up on a minute. Three point game. For the tie. Good tap by Aiden to get his air foul. Magic. We're going to make it five in a row over the Lakers. They've had their number. Turn and spin it. In the NBA. Trying to squeak out another one. Under a minute to play. Ben Carroll. It's a two possession game. Paolo with 15. Not a big scoring night like we have seen. They should really spread the wealth. Nobody has at least 20 for the Magic. They have 7 between 10 and 15. Think about that Stu. Big spread to wealth. Hard to hone in on one or two of them. Ben Carroll hit the free throw. He got aggressive and it didn't take long. That was the important thing. How fast they scored. Three point game. Crowd on their feet. Suds looking for the very best opportunity. Ben Carroll probably. Bane is an option also. Espin Bane with five with four. They're flirting with disaster again. The Lakers have the rebound. Up ahead now for Doncic. Lucas in very deep. They need a three and it's high. He gets fouled. Another offensive ball. That is not a bad foul though by the Magic. Truly not a bad foul. They're up three with five seconds left to play. Aiden at the line to shoot two. He's not Austin Reeves. He's 50% tonight. On the year he's 62%. Only Austin can complete the perfect missed free throw play. Although we don't know. We haven't seen it yet but he needs to make obviously this one. I've seen it done a million times. Something always goes wrong. Except when Austin did. This is to bring the Lakers to within one. Not a lot of time left for the Lakers to try to see if he missed it on purpose. What happened? Did someone step in the lane too quick? Hushes to a silence. And he's got to get it in. Is it Laker ball? Yes. It's Laker ball! They're going to challenge it but they knew that it's Laker ball. They can't take that challenge with them. Wow. This game rides on this decision. Upon review it has been determined the ball was last touched by Orlando. Therefore this is an unsuccessful challenge. The ball be awarded to Los Angeles. Please reset the shot clock, the game clock to 4.4. Belay my last. 4.7. It'll be Lakers ball. They have the ability to advance the ball. Luka had an opportunity to shoot to win the game. Will he get another one? Oh, LeBron's underneath! Is there a whistle? No whistle. The clock has stopped. There's been no whistle though. Nobody knows what's going on, literally. There's been no whistle yet. Three wins at two times. Marcus Smart looking. Look at this situation here. And Neesmith just a second three pointer. Remember he was 0 for 7. Missed his first seven attempts. Ran Siakam off like a pro cut. And Neesmith comes over on a slip screen right to the corner. Now he's made his last two. And Siakam going right up against Yanis and commits a foul. Wrapped up in the body. Out of contact. On the inbounds. Turnover. Pacers basketball. Ryan Rollins just a little too casual with that inbounds pass. And good job by the Pacers. They were ball hawking the inbounds, not conceding anything. Get the deflection. Get the turnover. Here we go. Last time we were here, you remember it went overtime. Game 5. Tyrese Halliburton hit that shot. He's not available here tonight. Wonder who will be the hero here tonight. A partially blocked three-pointer by Turner. Five blocks on the night for Myles Turner. Great defensive play by Myles Turner. Slow it down. Passes up the three-pointer. Over to Ryan Rollins. And to see Myles take that shot. You know, I think the Pucks are so good at casting up the good ones for the great ones. Ryan Rollins is wide open. And Siakam trying the foul against Turner. His third. Siakam so good at just kind of flailing, extending his arms, challenge and contest and get a piece of that three-point release of Ben Sheffield. And I know Doc's pleading his case. I mean, Giannis gets mauled at one end. No whistle. Siakam, a similar situation. He lost contact, but he gets the benefit of a whistle. There's the contrast with Siakam's free throws. For the season, 61% tonight. Like I said, he has been really, really good until these last few trips. Really fluid and smooth. He could never miss. I'm shocked what he does. Remember to miss back-to-back free throws. One-point lead here is the offensive possession of the game. Gonna have Giannis as the primary ball handler. Back to an A.J. three. Giannis pulls out from three. Short. A.J. Green with an oh-so-important offensive rebound. Taking a page out of the Patriot playbook. Chasing down the long rebound. Good job of A.J. just beating the Patriots to the basketball. A.J. can come from that right corner. He's tracking that short miss all the way. Nice job. For as many three-pointers as A.J. has shot, only nine free-throw attempts going into these attempts. Not gonna call a time-out here. Gonna play this possession on through. Pacers have one time-out. The Bucs still have a couple time-outs left. See Yakov driving like through Ryan Rollins out of his way. Here's Lee Smith on the back side and ties it at 115. A.J. Green taking it out. Giannis against Siyakam with time ticking. We're tied at 115. Single digits on the game clock. Giannis. And with Lee Smith switched out on him. Giannis with the back down. The paint. The paint away. Nice. First lead since the second quarter. It's Horton. Opatch is there. Curry catches. Fires. No. It grazes the rim. The rebound by Leonard. One and a half to go in regulation. Horford there. They put some. They bump it. Blocking two inside. No. McEwen can't get it. 50.4 seconds to go in regulation. And fans absolutely speechless. Everyone in the building knows where the ball is gonna go. Steph Curry knocks down a big three. Falls into the crowd. This is why Steph Curry decided to come back. A lot of people said you're coming back five games left in the season. Can the Warriors do it? Can they make another run at this? Steve Kerr has called this a dynasty that is ending. Jimmy Butler calls Steph Curry Batman. And when you have Batman on your squad you always got a chance. The Warriors have stuck with this game. Unbelievable. Kawhi Leonard has not scored in the fourth quarter. He had 19 points through three. Steph Curry's got 34 in 35 minutes on 23 shots. 50 seconds to go. Golden State up by three. They've trailed by as many as 13 points tonight. The Warriors have knocked down seven threes in this fourth. Seven of ten from distance in the fourth quarter. Matherin to inbound. Oh look at the defense. Green. Steele. Pajewski. Oh he can't get it at the doorstep. And a foul. What a go back to that play defensively. It has to do with this right here. Draymond Green denying Kawhi away from the ball. Unable to catch a goal tending. That play is under review. They'll look at it again. Biggest lead tonight. The Big Mac scored in the fourth and here he's got the ball and Green in front. Green steals the ball. 32 seconds. Draymond Green with two outstanding steals. And you can say what you want about Draymond Green. He has put on full display defensive pressure locking Kawhi up in the fourth quarter. Big steal on this end. They miss. It's a 14-2 run by Golden State. Leonard again. Green is there. Doubled by Pajewski. And a straight catch. But he gets it away. One pass. Inside. Leonard. First basket of the fourth. And he hammers it home and he's got 21. The full court pressure. Leading out. 19-3. Curry got it to Pajewski. Clock at 9. This is amazing. I think that they've answered that question today. Winning is a skill. They turned it over 20 times. They hit 19 threes. Here goes Jones. They let him drive. He puts it down. Quickly to Hartford. Kawhi cannot get away. Pajewski is there. The Warriors have won. Golden State Warriors have won. Doesn't always happen. A double big for Cleveland here. Trying to secure that defensive glass. Kolik. A deep one. How about this young man? Getting minutes because two backcourt guys have been injured and giving the Knicks so much offense and smart play. Four of five from three. That had been a major question entering the season. Could he hit enough from deep? He has. Garland, no. Two minutes to go at the garden on Christmas. Brunson off. And a whistle against Mitchell could not keep Towns off the glass. Very late but appropriate. It's okay. You have to be sure your eyes saw what you saw. Watch the bottom left side. It's a two-handed shove. I don't care how long it takes. That's the slot official is going to make it. It's appropriate. You're just taking your time seeing how it plays. Good call. One-point Cavs lead. Brunson nearly lost. It now does. Garland ahead. Mitchell gets stripped. Called a foul on the floor. The Knicks have challenged. We get the call now. After review, the defensive player legally blocked the shot. Kolek comes from behind for the knockaway. Big play there. What a game to start things off on NBA Christmas. Mitchell back ironing off. Kolek to tip. Bridges the pull-up. Indeed. Off your defense into an opportunity where you get numbers and an easy pull-up to the mid-range. Knicks in front for the first time since early in the third. Garland cuts between two and lays it in. Cavs back up by one. He's on his tiptoes. Looked like a receiver tiptoeing the sideline. There's the speed of Garland. 20 points, 10 assists for Garland. Brunson the pull-up. You bet! Tracy Morgan is mystified. Knicks back up by two. Garland hand hit. Rebound out of bounds. And it will be Knicks basketball. Great job by Jalen Brunson. Just staying in the mix on the defensive backboard there. What a game here at Madison Square Garden. Timeout taken. Sixth. They climb a little bit with their two wins today. Under a minute to go. Knicks basketball leading by two. Spurs and Thunder up next. It has been a riveting game here at the Garden. Bridges gives it up. Kolik has been one of the heroes of the day. Shot clock at five. Kolik on the drive. The fade. Hand hit. Towns possession lead for the Knicks. Mitchell trying to make it happen. Mitchell, my goodness! Put the whole holiday on a poster. Quick, Donovan attacks right off the bat. Knicks quickly ahead. Bridges the touch pass and the slam! And it's back to four with 12 seconds to go. Initially into the foul game. Ball looking in. Finds Mitchell. Hill hoists. Hand hit. Rebound Robinson. He's fouled. 8.3 to go. And the Knicks on the brink of their largest comeback win of the season. Wemby and SGA. Spurs and Thunder up next. Robinson with 25. Brunson 34. Robinson missed it again. Rebound ball. Bounces ahead. Mitchell has to get it off. Does. Hits! With 2.4 to go. Cavs down one. And now the Knicks will take a timeout. Kolik trying to get Towns open. Does. Towns is finally fouled with 1.1 remaining. And you can see Kolik nodding his head to Towns saying move this way, move this way. And Towns did. He's fouled with 1.1 remaining. Watch Kolik's head here. Watch his head. That way. That way. Like you're running around the backyard. I'll tell you, it's trust. Like, that inbounder in those situations, they have to be patient. And I was wrong. I thought they had a timeout. They didn't. So that inbounder, much more pressure on you. Towns at the line. Remember, Cleveland is out of timeouts. Knicks lead. Now Towns is asking the bench, should I make it or miss it? When it's a two-point game, I always think make it because you could lose. That's exactly right. If it was a one-point game, you might as well miss it because all they're gonna shoot is a three. Towns, second free throw. It's no good. Mitchell lets it bounce. The hoist! Largest comeback of the season. Down 17 with 10 minutes to go. It's a very merry Knicks-mas here at MSG. 126-124 the final.
