James with the game winner, and they go up three games to nothing. While he was trying to walk down the clippers here in the first half, on a 12-4 run, Curry in line shakes Paul out of his boots and hits a fall-away jump shot. Takes it out under the basket and suddenly goes two times behind his back. One-two, Paul goes down, Curry knocks down the jump shot. This guy is something special. 44% from the field, 17 for 39. What a move by Rowe. Yes, and it counts over Joe L. Anthony. This was a spectacular move, as you will ever see. 20 points for Matt Martin. There's the steal. Look out. Blake's laughing because he didn't know what he was going to do. You want to have fun, come see Clipper basketball. Williams now, return feed for Johnson. He looks at the clock. Johnson. Feeds out Pierce and hits. Splash for Joe Johnson. Wow, big-time move for a 6'7 guy. How about getting it down and real low to the floor and going by Pierce, who's reaching again.

Harden trying to get three. Down to three. Down to two. It's a three. Good. James Harden, a footable shot. Derrick Jones. A cloud piercer. Unbelievable. He is always highlight real stuff. He had to reach way back and slam it down airplane mode. That was uncanny finish. Look at that athleticism. Looking. Finds Rose. Rose trying to get open. Fires away. Bang! It still is a madhouse on Madison as Derrick Rose nails the three. And the Bulls take a 2-1 lead in this Eastern Conference semifinal. When you look at Andrew Bogut, 0-9, 0-10, as Ray Allen hits a three, Roger Enron is a fun player to watch because he is the quintessential point guard. Horton's got a pair. Lamb lost it. This crowd is done. Jeremy Lamb, the shot of a lifetime. Just like you're growing up. That's how you win a game. Three minutes to play. Shot clock is down to five. Bryant goes to work.

Larry Nance with a grown man's move. Oh, Larry Nance has the crowd on their feet. Here comes George. Got the step in. Cross, what a move. It counts in the foul. A sensational move by Paul George. We are seeing a superstar in the making here with Paul George. Final seconds of the third. Here's James with a long three. It's good! They did slap hands out there. That was kind of a cool moment. No hand slap. A lot of respect there. This is going to be good between these two players. Chance to tie it here for Golden State. Curry's got it. And Curry will let it go for three. Comes up short. Offensive rebound. Curry again. And Curry hits a three! It's amazing. It is amazing what Steph Curry can do with a basketball. Another scoring option and a different way to score coming off baseline screen. Oh, he does it again. Throws it right up on the rim. James comes flying in from the right corner, and he goes right over Lucas. I didn't even see that on the play originally. Good rebound. Nice outlet. On the run. Two on one. Green, the finish! Wow! The L.A.U. Oh, my goodness. He just didn't make that a normal catch and finish. He caught it, brought it down, wound up, and threw it down. Will Kobe give them one last gamer? Bryant on the move with the jumper. He got it! This takes it to an absolute another level. From the left side, crossed over Wes Johnson, and that might be the single greatest crossover in the history of the NBA. Allow me to have this down. Down goes Johnson. Too much sauce. Oh, wait! I need to see that again because I don't believe what he did. Well, watch the extension of the body. How about that? That's over a shot clock. That was just a great, great moment. 14-13, Portland back in front. LeBron turned the corner. It's on! Greensaber! 15-14! The Kevlar bench is going nuts! LeBron James going to dance in a hoop until they have a tackle. He would have needed the entire Bosnian Army to stop LeBron James. Wade from behind takes it away. Chalmers. Pull. Whoa! Now it looked like he jumped out of the mezzanine to dump this ball. That's sending it down with some power. Five seconds left. Waiters back to Dwayne. Shoots. No, he couldn't get it off. Now fires it up. Back it in! The buzzer! Oh, my! He fills up a prayer, and it is answered! And Miami wins it, 126-125! And this is his house! A three wins the series. It's Lillard. He got the shot off! Oh, my God! First time! Damian Lillard sends Portland to the second round. Curry splits the defense behind the back. Fires a three. Oh, he puts it in! What a spectacular move! That could be the greatest move I've ever seen in my life. No, I'm being serious. Stephen Curry, just a spectacular move here. Somehow holds on, fires up the three. Around the Griffin screen. Slams up! Oh, my! What a play! He stopped about three feet short of the rim and just threw it down. Ralph, it's like the elevator went to the third floor and paused, and he got fouled. He said, I got to go another level. The ball taken away by Dohm. Punched ahead for Griffin. He'll drive. He'll smash! He'll slam! He's topped himself again somehow! His most amazing dunk of the night. Thunder is out of timeouts. Adams gives it back to Russ. Deep shot! Get it! A historic day! Westbrook gives the Thunder the victory at the buzzer! I'm speechless. Westbrook captivates. Okay, she wins it. They're really letting them play. It's a physical game. Oh! Griffin! What a play by Blake. The fans can hardly believe what they just saw. Corner, Thomas. Knocked away and stolen. Here's Middleton. Giannis trailing. The lob! Oh! Giannis Antetokounmpo for Chris Middleton. Cross court passes. Antetokounmpo throws it down. As Middleton lobbed it up perfectly. And there's your highlight play tonight. Johnny Mack loves it. Here comes Chris Paul. The lob. Let's go! I want to see it again. This could be as good as anyone we saw from Blake. That's as good as anybody anywhere. Tell me that won't be number one of the night on everybody's list. Welcome to Lob City, ladies and gentlemen. They do have a timeout. Decide not to use it. Curry. Way downtown. Bang! And he ties the NBA record with his 12th three-pointer of the game. The brilliant shooting of Stephen Curry continues. Spread floor. Lillard with 47 tonight. Working it down to two to one. A deep three. Oh! Blazers win the series. A walk-off three from Lillard. Downtown. The most improbable, impossible three. 50 for Lillard. Blazers win in five. Irving and Curry one-on-one. Irving puts it up. It's good. Kyrie Irving from downtown. Just like they threw it up. Covering Irving. Putting it between the wickets. Stepping back. A deep shot right side. And a three is up and in. Kyrie Irving, a triple. You've got to be aware of the inbounder here if you're filling. Gets off to Lillard. Defended by Simmons. Is this the dagger? 15 fourth-quarter points by Kawhi Lillard. And the game-winner points. You cannot get not only a more dramatic ending, but a more dramatic shot than that one made by Kawhi Lillard. Iguodala to Curry. Back to Iguodala. Objection. Huge defensive play by the four-time MVP. Just attacked the basket. James catches. Puts up a three. Won't go. Rebound Bosh. Back out to Allen. History point of Bane. Rebound Bosh. Seven seconds. Ray Allen, a three for the corner. It's good. Miami Heat still alive. And Ray Allen, the best three-point shooter in NBA history, regular season and playoffs, with the clutch shot of his life.
