Even Steph Curry Couldn't Believe THIS...

Even Steph Curry couldn’t believe this. Cleveland and Minnesota played a wild overtime thriller. And Cooper Flagg against Giannis was fireworks! So we gotta start in Cleveland where the 3-0 Wolves opened the game hungrier than ever! Look at how strong Edwards is, putting Jarrett Allen in the weight room on that one! Both him and Lamelo were putting on a show in the 1st half, building a double digit lead for Minnesota. On the other end, the most consistent Cavalier of all was Maleek Thomas believe it or not, the 2nd round rookie. Thomas wasn’t afraid to take what’s his, scoring 10 of his 16 points in the 1st half on 60% efficiency. The 20 year old guard was even hotter from deep, making 4 of his 5 threes. And despite not playing at all in the closing minutes, he left a solid impression on me. The game was tied at the start of the 4th when Ayo Dosumnu decided to shake things up a bit! Wow, look at Ayo growling at Mobley after throwing the vicious jam on his head! That was electric! And speaking of that, Anthony Edwards was unstoppable! The Ant-Man made Watson pay time and time again for trailing just a millisecond behind him. The Wolves ran a floppy action for him the entire 4th quarter, and it worked. So, down by 3 with 30 seconds left, the Cavs desperately needed someone to step up. Mitchell runs around the world and lays in the beautiful tear drop, cutting the lead to one. And he fouled Kuminga on the other end to prevent the easy two. JK knocked down the first free throw, but let his nerves get to him on the 2nd, which left the door open for the Cavs… In a chaotic sequence, Harden stays cool and ties the game, but the Wolves still have 10 seconds on the clock which is a whole eternity! Payton Watson comes up with the game saving block by the tip of his fingers, and we go to overtime! And that is when Edwards came right back at Payton! The ANT-Man kept the Wolves alive, by knocking down some heroic shots in OT! But on the other side, Spida was lethal as well. Down by 2, Minny goes to the same floppy action which produces a great look for Kuminga who couldn’t convert the and-1 over Harden. So, he was headed to the foul line once again in the clutch. And once again, after making the 1st, Jonathan cracks under the pressure and misses the 2nd. On the contrary, James Harden stays ice cool and knocks down both free throws to bump the lead to 3 points with 13 seconds left to go. Not wanting to risk the 3, the Cavs send Lamelo Ball to the line who fumbles the 1st and now has to miss the 2nd on purpose and hope for a miracle! Ooohh that was close as it gets! The Cavs bench was literally praying for ANT to miss the game tying 3, and their prayers were answered. And despite 47 points from Edwards, the Wolves received their 1st loss of the season. On the other hand, the Heat were hoping they could finally get their 1st win of the season against the Mavs in Miami. And the start was promising. Giannis bulldozes through the defense for the two handed dunk! He’s the epitome of a one man wrecking crew! The only way you can stop him is with wrestling moves like this. Daniel Gafford put both hands around Giannis and threw him on the hardwood. Bobby Portis didn’t like what he saw so he went straight at him which turned into a scuffle. Luckily, it all ended quickly. But the Greek Freak remembered to get his vengeance in the 3rd quarter! Oh my goodness, Antetokounmpo destroys Gafford with the early dunk of the year candidate! That was NUTS! And I mean literally! Giannis did everything he could for his team, posting a huge triple double of 29 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists on 52% shooting from the field while knocking down a couple of 3’s as well. You simply can’t ask for more than that... Buut unfortunately for the home fans, the 4th quarter belonged to this guy! Flagg blows past Giannis and gets the sweet floater to drop for a 7 point Mavs lead. Adebayo on the other end was able to cut the deficit to 3 with his 6th point of the night. Yeah, he’s a ghost of himself thus far, averaging less than 12 points per game on 40% shooting from the field and a horrific 16% from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, Cooper was hoopin’! Flagg drains the 3 right off the inbound, not giving the Heat time to think! However, Giannis willed them all the way back to a 2 point deficit with less than 50 seconds to go, when Kyrie Irving decided that it’s his turn instead of passing it to the hot hand. So…Kyrie’s miss could’ve cost the Mavs a lot, but Cooper hustled back just in time to alter the shot by Wiggins. Amazing! And now, for the finishing touches, I present to you… A TEENAGER, just went up against Giannis and put up 29 points, 11 dimes, 5 blocks, 3 steals and the DAGGER! He’s unbelievable! The future of the Mavs is in good hands! For as long as they keep him ofcourse…
