🏀 A few of Wemby’s 12 blocks in Game 1 looked like goaltending

Jaden McDaniels on what they learned about attacking the rim when Wemby is on the floor: “You just gotta act like he’s not there. I mean, he’s gonna get blocks. He’s the tallest person in the world.”

Terrence Shannon Jr on going at Wemby:

"He gonna have to block it every time, I ain't gonna stop going downhill and I told him that when he said a little something after he blocked my second one. He gonna have to block it every time, man. I know he ain't gonna block it every single time. I'm gonna dunk on him"

McDaniels shot 7-14 (16 points), Shannon shot 5-13 (16 points) Wemby set an NBA playoff record with 11 blocks. T-Wolves take Game 104-102.

Players in NBA playoff history to record a triple-double with blocks:

Victor Wembanyama (12 blocks last night)
Andrew Bynum (2012)
Hakeem Olajuwon (1990)

Jaden McDaniels full highlights from game 6 🔥 McDaniels dropped 32 points (13-25 FG) & 10 rebounds as T-Wolves close out Nuggets in 6 games & advance to conference semis vs Spurs.

Terrance Shannon was huge in his first career playoff start with 24 points on 9-20 FG & 6 rebounds.

The Timberwolves are the first team in NBA history to win a playoff game while missing 3 or more players who averaged 10+ PPG in that series (Edwards, Divincenzo, Dosunmu)

Absolutely filthy dunk by Jamal Cain over Jalen Duren

Magic take Game 4, lead Pistons 3-1

[SportsHighlights @SportsContent]

JALEN DUREN GOT BAPTIZED BY JAMAL CAIN 😯😯

The Orlando Magic crowd has been electric in the 2nd half

Jamal Cain was on a 2 way contract earlier in the year, now he has the dunk of the NBA playoffs (so far)

Who wins this series? 🤔

🏀 Lakers somehow come back from down 6 with 30 seconds left to force OT and take a commanding 3-0 series lead.

Marcus smart (21 PTS, 10 AST, 5 STL, 2 BLK) is the fist player since Michael Jordan (6/12/1991) to record 20+ PTS, 10+ AST, 5+ STL, and 2+ BLK in a postseason game!

LeBron goes for 29 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block on 10-22 FG. LeBron had 8 turnovers but came up with the huge clutch steal and 3.

Rui Hachimura was pivotal in the win, scoring 22 points on 8-14 FG.

Austin Reaves is on the verge of returning from injury.

How far will the Lakers go this postseason?
A. NBA Finals
B. Western Conference Finals
C. Second round
D. First round

OG Anunoby went OFF for 34 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, & 4 steals while shooting 11/17 from the field and draining 6 threes in Knicks 142-103 win in Denver. If the Knicks can get a game or 2 like this from OG in each playoff series they can make a deep playoff run this year.
