A maybe related fun fact: Nuggets had a better offensive rating on the road than they did at home this season. 120.7 at home, 121.7 on the road.
It's the first time their offence had been more efficient on the road since 2011-12.
Largest comeback wins in Wolves playoff history (since 1997):
- Down 20 in Game 7 vs Denver in 2024
- Down 19 vs Denver tonight
Minnesota came back from down 19 to win tonight, their 2nd-largest comeback win in the playoffs since at least 1997.
2/3 games on the NBA slate tonight are 10/10, must watch again, "inject both into my veins" kind of games
Jamal Murray led the NBA with 28 threes in the last 4 seconds of the shot clock this season.
He just made his fourth heave of the season, 2 more than any other player this year.
Knicks led by as much as 14 in Game 2 & lost by 1.
It's tied for New York's fourth-largest blown lead over the last 30 postseasons.
Hawks outscored the Knicks 28-15 in the fourth quarter, held them to just 5-for-22 from the field.
Knicks led by as much as 12 early in the fourth.
Brandon Ingram shot 3-for-15 from the field tonight & finished with a 23.3 TS%.
It's the worst TS% by a Raptor with at least 15 attempts in a playoff game all-time.
Collin Murray-Boyles has scored 31 points in his first 2 playoff games, the most by a Raptors rookie all-time.
Toronto was 32-9 when they outrebounded their opponents, 24-2 when they scored 60+ paint points & 38-20 when they had more points on the break during the season.
Tonight:
+7 on the glass
64 points in the paint
+14 on the fast break
Raps committed a season-high 22 turnovers.
Happy playoffs to all that celebrate!!
Steph Curry & Al Horford combined to score 23 of the Warriors' 43 points in the fourth quarter. 6 combined threes in the fourth.
Curry is 38. Horford is 39.
Fun fact: Andre Drummond has made 30 corner threes this season, third-most on the Sixers.
Think about reading this sentence in 2016.
Unfortunate that NBATV no longer does first-round games, because Cleveland-Toronto is the most NBATV series that ever NBATVed
was gonna save this for Game 1 of Knicks/Raptors but here we are
Toronto & Cleveland will meet in the playoffs for the first time since 2018.
Raptors have lost 10 straight playoff games vs the Cavs.
Joe Mazzulla has gotten the Celtics to do this ALL season long.
Baylor Scheierman, Luka Garza & Ron Harper combined for 84 points & I can honestly say I expected this.
Boston was the only team that would have been expected to win a game they weren't "supposed to" win tonight.
Fun fact: Raptors & Knicks have made the playoffs in the same season for the first time since 2001!
Toronto has made the playoffs for the first time since 2022.
They won 16 more games than last season, tied for the fourth-largest increase in wins this season.
Brandon Ingram scored or assisted on 56 points tonight, his most in any game this season.
He was responsible for 56 of the 102 points the Raptors scored while he was on court.
Nuggets have won 10 straight games, their longest win streak since 2013 & longest in the Jokic era.
appreciate that, thank you!

It's the most in a season for Boston since at least 1996-97.
Brandon Ingram & Scottie Barnes each had 20+ points tonight for the first time since Feb. 4 vs Minnesota.
They combined for 48 points, their most since Jan. 20 at Golden State.
"Drew Timme has scored 10 of the Lakers' 16 points" is not a sentence I ever thought I'd type
No, he gets a game credit for the NBA Cup Final so tonight is his 64th game in regards to eligibility.
Wembanyama needs to play at least 20 minutes in ONE more game to maintain eligibility.
I never want to be tracking how many games a guy can miss before he won't be eligible for an award.
Wemby has a chance to be the first unanimous Defensive Player of the Year & now...
You: 43 wins? The Raptors have had a surprisingly good season.
Me:
