Even Steph Curry Couldn't Believe THIS...

Even Steph Curry couldn't believe this. Cleveland and Minnesota played a wild overtime thriller. Then Cooper Flack against Giannis was fireworks. So we gotta start in Cleveland where the 3-0 Wolves opened the game hungrier than ever. There's Kuminga at the rim, redirecting the lob for the two-hand jam. Ball gets in front of it, exchanged to Watson. He's got the pick behind the back wraparound. McDaniels freewheeling in there for the hammer. And Cleveland needs to call a timeout. The stick-to-itiveness right there by LaMelo Ball. Minnesota here battling Cleveland. Edwards off the high screen. Straight line drive going right at Allen with the left hand. Look at how strong Edwards is, putting Jared Allen in the weight room on that one. Both him and LaMelo were putting on a show in the first half, building a double-digit lead for Minnesota. On the other end, the most consistent Cavalier of all was Malik Thomas, believe it or not, the second-round rookie. Thomas wasn't afraid to take what's his, scoring 10 of his 16 points in the first 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 fourth when Ayodoh Sumo 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 fourth quarter and it worked. So down by three with 30 seconds left, the Cavs desperately needed someone to step up. Mitchell runs around the world and lays in the beautiful teardrop cutting the lead to one. And he fouled Kuminga on the other end to prevent the easy two. J.K. knocked down the first free throw but let his nerves get to him on the second, 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. Peyton Watson comes up with a game saving block by the tip of his fingers and we go to overtime. And that is when Edwards came right back at Peyton. The Ant-Man kept the wolves alive by knocking down some heroic shots in OT, but on the other side, Spider was lethal as well. Down by two, Mini goes to the same floppy action which produces a great look for Kuminga who couldn't convert the end one over Harden. So he was headed to the foul line once again in the clutch. And once again, after making the first, Jonathan cracks under the pressure and misses the second. 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. So, not wanting to risk the 3, the Cavs send LaMelo Ball to the line who fumbles the first and now has to miss the second on purpose and hope for a miracle. Oh, that was as 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 first loss of the season. On the other hand, the Heat were hoping they could finally get their first win of the season against the Mavs in Miami. And the start was promising. Giannis bulldozes through the defense with a 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. Dallas center. Oh Bobby Portis did not appreciate Gafford's foul on Giannis and those two still in each other's clutches. Oh I love Bobby Portis. He is a guy you want on your team. He has got Giannis' back. He came over with him in the trade there. 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 third 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 cannot ask for more than that. But unfortunately for home fans, the 4th quarter belonged to this guy. for Cooper. They led the NBA to 45 last year. And in the clutch, a runner goes in for Cooper Flagg. Flagg blows past Giannis and gets the sweet floater to drop for a 7-point Mavs lead. Adebayo, on the other hand, was able to cut the deficit to 3 with his 6th point of the night. Yeah, he's a ghost of himself so 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 hooping. Flagg drains the three right off the inbound, not giving the Heat time to think. However, Giannis willed them all the way back to a two-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 have cost the Cavs 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, three steals and the dagger. He is unbelievable. The future of the Mavs is in good hands, for as long as they keep him of course. And the Warriors got their hands on a phenomenal rookie as will this pass broken up by Brown to the races Lindenborg with the rejection here's Lindenborg downhill scoops it in that's an incredible sequence the athleticism of Lindenborg what a totally on display Christian Brown has been a menace in transition the last couple seasons block the shot run the floor take it right at Jokic Yaxl showcased his full arsenal in this one, leading the Warriors with 15 points at the half. But in the third quarter, the old chef took the spotlight. Steph put on a show in the third, racking up 17 of his 24 points on a perfect 100% shooting from the field. He's just marvelous to watch. With him sitting on the bench for a breather, the rookie continued to cause mayhem for the Nuggets defense. Lindenborg puts the exclamation point on the game with his 31st point of the night to go along with 12 boards and 6 assists. That was more than enough for Golden State's first win of the season. Even after the game, Curry had a lot of praise for his rookie. Speaking of a full package, Alperen Sengun was on his baby Jokic groove last night. Alpi threads the gorgeous behind the back pass to Eason for his easiest points of the night. Sengun messed around against the Hawks and finished the game just one rebound and one assist shy of a triple double. He got his teammates involved but also scored 29 points of his own on a blistering 73% shooting from the field in the 4th consecutive win for the Rockets. And we have to talk about the Grizzlies who are the biggest shocker of all so far. Cedric Cloward led the balanced attack for Memphis who had 6 guys scoring 12 plus points. But when winning time came, it was Ty Jerome behind the steering wheel. Jerome broke his hot streak with a modest 15 point game, but more importantly, brought his team the 4th win in a row. The Grizzlies are just one of the 6 teams that are still undefeated. Who would have thought? And for things to get even worse for the Jazz, they lost both Lowry and Triple J to injuries in this one. And talking about injuries, the OKC Thunder just can't catch a break. That didn't look good at all. I guess a good sign is that he had no problem stepping on it on his way to the locker room. Hope it's nothing cause they just received the news about J-Dub and Kason Wallace potentially missing the entire season. Ok, let's cheer you up a bit with this comical turnover by Jalen Williams. That was hilarious, but wait till you see this bucket by Dylan Brooks. What? How? This gotta be one of the luckiest bounces of all time. But in SGA's moves, there's not 1% luck. It's all skill. This is unguardable. Alexander got busy with 26 points on 61% efficiency, and A.J. Mitchell was even better. 30 points on 62% shooting from the field in the win over the Suns. Booker was a no-show, scoring just 3 points on a measly 1 of 7 shooting. On the contrary, Brandon Miller put up a shooting clinic in Charlotte. Brandon for 39 points against the Wizards, draining 5 threes in the process. But the play of the game belonged to Washington. That was prime time Trey with the lob pass and showtime AD with the finish. But even that wasn't enough to beat the Hornets as the Wizards go to 2-2 on the season. A lot of exciting games and spectacular plays from last night. A total opposite from 2 days ago when the NBA was struck by tragedy.
