This loss gotta hurt for the OKC Thunders. They practically have this game in the bag but they let it slipped away.

NBA;

Marcus Morris made a 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds left and the Boston Celtics stunned the Oklahoma City Thunder 100-99 on Tuesday night.

Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 23 points and 11 rebounds. Morris added 21 points as Boston snapped the Thunder’s six-game win streak.

Team Lebron bags the 2018 NBA All Star Game

Team Lebron bags the 2018 NBA All Star Game

Spin.ph;

TEAM LeBron rallied from double-digits down in the fourth to beat Team Stephen 148-145 on Sunday in the NBA All Star Game in Los Angeles (Monday, Manila time).

LeBron James got huge support from Kevin Durant, Paul George, Andre Drummond and Bradley Beal, taking victory in the new-look midseason show as the NBA used a playground-style selection process over the traditional East-West format.

The game between Team LBJ and Team Steph Curry was basically offensive play after offensive play and the team who decided to play defense won the game which what Team Lebron did in the last 2 mins of the game.

Lebron James was named All Star MVP.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Jumps over Tim Hardaway Jr. for an alley-oop Dunk

Giannis Antetokounmpo Jumps over Tim Hardaway Jr. for an alley-oop Dunk

ESPN:

The dunk came in the third quarter with the Bucks leading 60-50. Antetokounmpo, who finished with 23 points, 11 rebounds and six assists, was the trailer on a two-on-one fast break when teammate Khris Middleton lobbed the ball up to the 6-foot-11 star.

These are the dunks that can ruin someone’s life! 🙂

As great as Giannis’s dunk, it’s not as impressive as Vince Carter over 7-foot-2 Frenchman Frederic, which was dubbed as “le dunk de la mort”: “the dunk of death”.

Antetokounmpo’s Milwaukee Bucks won the contest against Tim Hardaway Jr.’s NY Knicks, 103 – 89.

Still a bad pass tho @k_mid22 😂#GreatWin #KeepPushing

Houston Rockets destroyed the Cleveland Cavaliers in a 120 – 88 win

Houston Rockets destroyed the Cleveland Cavaliers in a 120 – 88 win

ESPN;

The Houston Rockets played beautiful basketball Saturday night, and they destroyed the Cavs 120-88. Chris Paul was a maestro from the opening moments; it was a display of the reason why the Rockets are brilliant when he and MVP candidate James Harden are so great together (now 23-3 when both guards start). Paul was a breathtaking plus-47 for the night. The score probably could’ve been anything Paul wanted it to be.

The statement above probably sums up the whole game. Lebron James did not have his usual numbers, after playing for 31 minutes he only have 12 pts, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, and even though they got some individual contribution from Rose and Wade (both with 10 pts), Thomas (12 pts) and Smith (12 pts), as a team the Cavs are lethargic on both ends of the floor.

Rockets will visit Brooklyn, while the Cavs will go to Orlando on Tuesday. Hopefully the two days rest will allow the Cavs to regroup.

Blake Griffin Traded to Detroit Pistons

LA has agreed to trade Forward Blake Griffin to the Detroit Pistons for Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, Boban Marjanovic, and a first- and second-round draft pick. Along Griffin, the clippers will also be sending Brice Johnson and Willie Reed to Detroit.

Team owner Steve Ballmer said in a tweet that, “Thanks so much to @blakegriffin32 for all he did for the @LAClippers He is an incredible player and an incredible person. He made our team into a real franchise and deserves a ton of credit.”

Last July, Griffin signed a five-year $171 million contract with the Clippers, since he does not have the “no-trade” clause, it was just a matter of time before the Clippers ship Griffin to a team willing to absorb his contract.

LA Clippers could be freeing up cap space for the the 2018 – 2019 free agents that includes some of the best talents in the NBA.

Despite the loss, Joel Embiid posted photos of him dunking over Russell Westbrook

Despite the 122-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Sixers Center Joel Embiid posted a photo of him dunking over OKC’s Russell Westbrook. The photos has a caption “Tough loss #TheProcess” and the location indicated as “Crime Scene Investigation”.

If you watched the game or even the highlight reel, you can see Embiid stare down Westbrook while he run down for defense. The photo could add color to the already colorful 2018 NBA All Star this February, where Embiid is with Team Stephen, while Westbrook is with Team Lebron.

Just incase you cannot find that Embiid dunk that sent Westbrook to the graveyard, here’s a 3 min video of every dunk of the game. The Embiid dunk is at the 35 seconds mark.
