For today’s opening Game 1 vs. Brooklyn, the Toronto Raptor players selected their Friends & Family to virtually introduce them in the pregame introductions......and it looks like it worked as Toronto dominated at halftime and lead by 17 with 7 minutes remaining the the game.
Halftime Nets 51 Raptors 73 |

It’s the “home team” for the sweep of the days games: Dallas 110 LA Clippers 118 Luka Doncic was the games high scorer with 42 points “Luka Doncic is the first player in NBA history to score 40 in his playoff debut“ NOT Magic, Larry, MJ, Kobe or LeBitch......LUKA!!! Porzingis was ejected for this, drawing his second technical of the game. In the age of covid, players can’t be stepping towards each other in after whistle/dead ball situations. |

I watched Brooklyn - Toronto, it was boring. Brooklyn was behind from the start and had no chance in recovering from it. I actually didn't finish, stopped watching at the end of the 3rd quarter and went to bed ('round midnight at my timezone).
We can't choose which game to watch, we only get one game a day, if we gat a game at all. Would have loved to see the Denver - Utah game instead Mitchell scored 57 points and still lost

Rockets dominating at Halftime:
OKC 52 Houston 68 Chris Paul received a technical while leaving the court before the half. Eric Gordon has played great for Rockets. 2nd half should be good! End of 3rd OKC 83 Houston 104 Steven Adams looks slow against the Rockets small-ball offense. Rockets win OKC 108 Houston 123 Mike D'Antoni on Eric Gordon's scoring with Westbrook out: "It's fundamental. We have to have it. Eric played well, but I think he'll even play better... He's an important piece that we have." Harden w/ 37 points, 11 rebounds and six 3’s made |

Anthony Davis had 11 of the Lakers last 13 points to close out the half. Portland led by as many as 11, but they only lead by one at halftime:
Portland 57 Lakers 56 |

ZERO Rockets turnovers in the first half!
Austin Rivers blows by CP3 for a powerful dunk Austin Rivers 2nd view The Rockets 25 missed threes ties the NBA record for most in a half (regular season or playoffs). Halftime OKC 59 Houston 53 End of 3rd OKC 78 Houston 77 SIX Rockets turnovers in 3rd quarter Final Game 2 OKC 98 Houston 111 2nd Half Scoring Runs 13-0 Rockets run 13-0 OKC run 17-0 Rockets run For the second time in consecutive games, the Houston Rockets set the NBA Playoff Record for 3-pointers attempted: The most 3-PT FG attempts in a playoff game in NBA history: 1. Rockets 56 (2020) 2. Rockets 52 (2020) 3. Rockets 52 (2018) 4. Rockets 50 (2017) 5. Rockets 50 (2019) 6. Rockets 49 (2017) 7. Rockets 47 (2019) Harden and Gordon: 2/21 (10%) from 3pt line Everyone else: 17/35 (49%) Rockets Defense Was Stifling Major props for Westbrook donning the Iron Maiden shirt and coaching his azz off Rockets 17-2 the past two regular seasons when holding teams under 100 points as they did today. Mike D'Antoni, jokingly: "All we did is defend homecourt and now we got to go to Oklahoma City to play." |

The Bucks are boycotting tonight's match.
NBA decided to postpone all three games of today!

Mr. Socks & Sandals came up with the 2nd biggest BLOCKED SHOT in Rockets postseason history......each was in a Game 7 Houston’s #1 playoff-ranked defense held OKC to three made field goals in the final 8:22. Socks & Sandals is now 2-0 in game 7s against Chris Paul Tonight’s win advances Russell Westbrook to the second-round for the first time since 2016 Westbrook wraps up his zoom press conference: “We get to go back to a campus where it's just us. No other teams, just us at the Grand Floridian." This is EVERYTHING when it comes to winning in the NBA bubble!!! OKC had options on final play of game......and what was CP3 doing all alone??? Russell Westbrook on facing the Lakers: “I never worry about the other team.” Lakers are favored......Game 1 Friday |

I couldn't sleep last night, so I got out of bed, must have been 1AM, turned on the TV and fell into the Celtics - Raptors match. Wow, what a great match it was!
Boston thought they had the win in the pocket and a 3-0 playoffs lead, when they made their final score with great team play, and 0.5 seconds left on the clock. But then the Raptors took the win instead with the ultimate 3 pointer buzzer beater by Anunoby!!
