Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic help Denver avoid elimination with Game 5 win

The Denver Nuggets leaned on Jamal Murray to get them back into this series, and boy, he did not disappoint. He finished the game with 42 points, eight rebounds and eight assists en route to a 117-107 victory over the Jazz to keep the Nuggets alive.

Goran Dragic scored 23 points, Adebayo had 14 points and 19 rebounds and the fifth-seeded Heat completed a first-round sweep, beating the Pacers 99-87 on Monday night. Tyler Herro had 16 points for the Heat, who made it out of the first round for the first time since 2016.

Luka Doncic Hits Game-Winner.

The second-year star drilled a buzzer-beating three-pointer while playing on a sprained ankle to lead the Dallas Mavericks to a 135-133 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Clippers in Sunday's Game 4 at Walt Disney World Resort. The series is tied at two games apiece.

You ever watch one of those movies that start off with a character getting blown up or punched and the scene stops in place and they say some line like: “You’re probably wondering how I got here”? That was me after watching the Sixers get blown out by Jayson Tatum after game 2. The Sixers went on to play the Celtics in a decisive game 3 and they lost the nail-biter to ultimately put the unofficial dagger in a lackluster season.

Inside Staples Center, Kobe Bryant's Nos. 8 and 24 have hung from the rafters since 2017. And now outside Staples Center, a portion of Figueroa Street will be renamed in the former Los Angeles Lakers star's honor.

Fans of the Dallas Mavericks held their collective breaths as they watched Luka Doncic limp off the floor in the third quarter of Game 3. At the time, it looked like an injury that might sideline the young star for the remainder of the game, if not longer. That wouldn’t be the case, however.
