LAMelo BALL REALLY HAD KYRIE LOOKING LIKE HE WANTS TO RETIRE 😭😭 Got cooked all night and now he's just sitting there looking DONE with life Sometimes you just gotta accept you're not getting any younger.

GAME RECOGNIZE GAME. 🤝🔥 Cade Cunningham and Trae Young showing each other love after the final buzzer. 52 POINTS. 11 ASSISTS. ZERO TURNOVERS. 52 AND 11 WITHOUT A SINGLE TURNOVER IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE 😭 CADE CUNNINGHAM IS THE BEST GUARD IN THE LEAGUE. PERIOD

AJ CLUTCH SHOT

Trae bricks the floater and Detroit gets right out on the break. Cade dots Robinson on the left wing and he buries the cold-blooded dagger 🥶💀

TRAE TO AD... WHAT A PLAY！

Trae Young coming up clutch rn. Just drew a foul in the paint on his old teammate John Collins, and JC looks sick to his stomach—bro is legit about to cry 😭

TRAE MF YOUNG！

THAT HURTS JUST WATCHING 😭💔 AJ DYBANTSA COLLIDED HEADS WITH CUNNINGHAM ON DEFENSE AND TOOK A NASTY SHOT TO THE MOUTH. Dude was BLEEDING BADLY and lying on the floor with a huge cut inside his mouth. Had to come out of the game to get the bleeding stopped and receive treatment.

Anfernee Simons was an absolute savior for the Sixers tonight. 17 PTS on 6-9 shooting, 5-6 from deep, and a massive +22 in his minutes. Easily a legit 6MOY candidate.

DENI AVDIJA IS A FUCKING STAR 🔥 28 PTS 3 REB 6 AST 4 STL 6/6 FT COMPLETELY TOOK OVER THE 4TH QUARTER AND LED PORTLAND TO A BACK-TO-BACK WIN 💀 DENI IS LEGIT A TOP 3 SMALL FORWARD IN THE LEAGUE THIS SEASON. OKC'S WORST NIGHTMARE

DENI AVDIJA AND DAME LILLARD TOOK OVER WHEN IT MATTERED MOST 😭🔥 UP 8 WITH 22 SECONDS LEFT. THE BLAZERS WERE LOCKED IN ON BOTH ENDS IN THE 4TH. THEY REALLY SWEPT THE THUNDER THIS SEASON

That’s such a dirty play from McCain. Straight up shoved Avdija in the back and sent him down hard. Mind you, Deni dealt with back injuries all last season. Looks like he might have to head back to the locker room to get checked out.

SGA got laid out by Cissoko and took forever to get back up. Thunder are clearly heated the refs swallowed their whistle on the offensive foul in this OKC-Blazers game, but honestly that looked like a pure flop.

ANOTHER ANGLE OF MARCUS SMART THROWING HANDS WITH CHARLES BASSEY 😭🥊 That's a CLEAR punch right to Bassey's nose. Didn't look like it had much power behind it, but he definitely connected 💀 Smart is 100% getting suspended for this. Gotta be at least 1-2 games. THIS IS GIVING ME RONDO VS CP3 FLASHBACKS 😭🔥

BRO THIS TURNED INTO A UFC FIGHT REAL QUICK 😭🥊 MARCUS SMART JUST THREW A PUNCH AT THE WARRIORS' PLAYER AND ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE 💀🔥 Smart walked STRAIGHT to the locker room because he already knew he was getting EJECTED 😭 THIS MIGHT BE THE WILDEST FIGHT OF THE SEASON.

NAH SCOOT HENDERSON HAS ZERO COURT VISION 😭💀 Deni Avdija was WIDE OPEN for three in transition and Scoot really said "nah, I'm good" and drove straight into an offensive foul 💀 DENI'S REACTION SAYS IT ALL 😭😭 BRO CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT HE'S WATCHING.

LUKA JUST SCARED THE HELL OUT OF EVERY LAKERS FAN 😭💔 He rolled his ankle coming down from a step-back three and immediately hit the floor in pain. Didn't look intentional from Kuzma. THANK GOD Luka got back up and seems to be okay 🙏😭

NAH THE LAKERS ARE ACTUALLY CURSED 😭💀 Sexton took a nasty shot to the eye on defense, got cut open and had to check out of the game. FIRST AUSTIN REAVES, NOW COLLIN SEXTON??? BRO WHAT DID THE LAKERS BACKCOURT DO TO DESERVE THIS 😭🙏

Absolute beatdown tonight. Dame: 25 PTS | 3 REB | 3 AST (8/15 FG) Deni Avdija: 24 PTS | 8 AST | 6 REB (8/15 FG) This duo is genuinely becoming one of the deadliest 1-2 punches in the entire Western Conference. The best part? Dame got to kick his feet up the entire 4th quarter. Fresh legs for the second night of the back-to-back tomorrow. Portland is in prime position to stack another W and make it two straight.

Williams let Donovan Clingan completely live in his head right there. Got stared down in the backcourt and Williams crashed out with a two-handed shove. The best part of that whole sequence? Damian Lillard in the huddle coaching up the Youngster: "Big man, chill. We’re in control. Let them be the ones desperate." Veteran poise at its absolute finest.
