Dwyane Wade’s jumper with 21.9 seconds left gave Miami its first and only lead of the second half and the Heat rallied from 16 points down to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 100-97 and end a three-game slide on Sunday night.
Durant only attempted two shots in the first half, but came out of intermission firing on all cylinders. “We kept fighting and made plays down the stretch”, Durant said.
I mean, that’s just cold, Russ. This play right here is just another example of why Westbrook is not only one of the best players in the entire National Basketball Association, but he’s also one of the more exciting.
Raptors 96, 76ers 76: Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan had 25 points, his third straight outing with at least 20 points. Westbrook registered the double-double after grabbing 11 rebounds, while Durant finished with six boards and five assists to go with his game-high 31 points. “I thought Steven (Adams) did a great job to roll back, but I think it was (Gordon) Hayward that did a good job of taking that away, and the only other pass we had was to the top of the key, so Russell I think improvised throwing it off the guy”.
Eschewing a timeout, Utah brought the ball down court, but Heyward’s pass for Hood sailed out of bounds with a second left. “I just had to survey the floor first before I just put my head down and go, and I saw them shifting all the way over leaving Serge wide open in the corner, which is a bad move because he can make that and he made a big time play”. Dion Waiters had a great game off the bench- scoring 13 points- while Enes Kanter added 10 points of his own.
