Jalen Brunson can’t find the same kind of room when Jarrett Allen is roaming off Josh Hart. Didn’t we learn that in Game 1?

But, yeah, we DO love Castle

We all love Castle, but he simply HAS to recalibrate his risk/reward meter on these passes

Flyover gather remains the coolest move in basketball.

This is like the tenth time the Rockets have screwed up very basic defense. What is going on?

As someone who A) loves Tron B) loves flatland BMX, and C) watches NBA games every night, how have I never seen this guy (literally called “Tron Bike”) before?

Can Thomas traveled TWICE on the same play, good bucket tho

Grayson Allen, what have you done

-Incredible transition D from Craig Porter, who is in the paint when this shot splashes in, but realizes De’Andre Hunter falls down and sprints back to save the point. -Also incredible camerawork, as we see the outlet pass soaring past Hunter in the zoom-in on his complaints ha

Watkins has been killing it on defense in his opportunities, and he gets the huge clutch stop here

Maxey REALLY wanted this gaoltending call

I don’t know anything about drumming but I’m greatly enjoying the Lakers’ halftime act tonight

MEAN little play from Ty Lue. Dunn enters to Harden, then drifts like he’s going to dunker spot. Instead, sets a vicious screen to free up Zubac to catch right at rim.

Zu out here trying HARD to feed his guy Lopez

This is a pretty egregious missed backcourt, yikes

Dean Wade just ripped Donovan Mitchell and went coast-to-coast. That’s not a typo.

Whoa! Who does JJJ think he is??

Sure LOOKS like Bane does a gun celebration after hitting a three, which I thought was a no-no. Maybe that’s only if you’re Ja Morant

Beautiful read from Queen. Sees the Spurs switch, realizes Luke Kornet won’t want to follow Trey Murphy to the arc, and knows exactly when and how to make the pass. Oh, and it was his 10th dime for his first triple-double (and first by a rookie this year).

Grayson Allen with some of the footwork I’ve seen.

After two straight crazy LeBron triples seemingly put it away, Maxey does THIS

Scottie Barnes is having a really nice passing night

Amen Thompson HAS to mash this.

Keshad Johnson has played 10 minutes all season. Checks in to guard Jokic. Misses the three, sprints Iike hell to get back, battles the much larger Jokic in the post, forces the turnover. Love the effort.

Sheppard looking like Sonic the Hedgehog tonight

Ron Holland just bullied Keyonte George in a mean way, then converted the slam on the other end. Electric sequence.
