You can't do that, Tyler Herro!
In which I become a highlight truther.
Good morning. This one might be too long for your email client, so you may want to open it in a browser by clicking the headline. Let’s basketball.
Scores
Wizards 121, Sixers 111 — Joel Embiid sat, so Doc Rivers decided to start … Matisse Thybulle, who is not a center but has re-entered the rotation over the past week. P.J. Tucker was the de facto center. P.J. Tucker is not really a center, even in a five-out James Harden set-up. In related news, Kristaps Porzingis had 30 points on 69% shooting.
Celtics 113, Cavaliers 114 (OT) — Jayson Tatum with a wild dunk to tie it in regulation and then the block on a Donovan Mitchell three to send it to overtime. Holy s—t Jayson Tatum is incredible.
(Should have gotten a free throw there too.)
Cavaliers were able to close it out in overtime. This team is really damn fun and the vibes are immaculate. I’m calling my shot on Coach of the Year right now: J.B. Bickerstaff.
Full game highlights:
Kings 107, Heat 110 — Tyler Herro for the win.
Wait just a second —
There’s the gather.
Right foot moves on the sidestep pump fake …
Left foot off the ground to reset after the sidestep pump fake. That’s a travel, bro.
Mike Brown:
I don’t think this is a particularly egregious blown call but it is a blown call. Yes, I’m only a highlight truther when it comes to the Kings. Against other opponents? Travel to your heart’s content, love.
