We start with the NBA’s jam-pack standings out west where the top four teams were separated by a single game and let’s start with the Raptors and the Thunder that is Chad hren but they of course are led by Shay gilis Alexander had nine straight games of 30 or more

Misses there RJ Barry gets the rebound Josh gidy fights for the ball forces faret out of bounds and they get the ball back what happens well yep that’s a turn turn over so with 5 Seconds to go in the game Thunder still down two giddy finds Aaron Wiggins lays it

In so that ties the game so you see it’s 4.7 to go Raptors with a Chance Barrett that’s a good look we’re headed to overtime in the extra frame SGA game fresher than Doug E you see that move for the layup puts the squad up one a minute to go they’re down

Three until he does that from there ties it at 118 we got 7 Seconds To Go in overtime Gary Trent Jr checks the clock Drive pull up no can you say double overtime double overtime just four minutes to play now Thunder with the lead Chad hren bucket they’re up

Four under two to play SGA to Wiggins he had 14 assists that tied a career high and that bucket put OKC up seven and then SGA puts it away he had 23 points they win at 135 127 they’re 35 and 15 to start this season that’s their best start since KD’s final

Season with the Thunder T rolls tied at top of West with OKC hosting the Rockets who are looking at a months long fight for a play in spot and’s lost three or four so that was just one of those uh Anthony Edwards saying they’ll be no more of thats lead

By eight here in the third he get two backto back buckets and then you realize here acrobatic finish in the foul he’s on a bit of a heater six straight Timberwolves points working the wing you get tired of watching him go ahead and guard him that’s nine consecutive Timberwolves points for

Edwards you got any more in you sure uh see basketball is not a democracy the best player gets as many shots as he wants not spreading him around if one guy’s really good there’s another three 14 straight for him uh they interrupted the streak at some point but he didn’t

He got another three so uh 17-point lead even though it’s he let another guy score in there Edwards rolls up 19 here we go this is quite a third quarter for Edwards he has a career high for points in a quarter 22 that’s a good 12 minutes

There you go makes the put back five to go Timberwolves up 26 they are working people they’re going for their 10th win by 20 or more points look out Edwards 32 points they win 11190 Chris Fitch celebration for him he’s going to be Western Conference All-Star Game coach

Match wh with Doc all right Clippers and the heat Kawai and his Squad have been on a tear as a blade as well we pick it up in the second half where Kawai starts wearing out the defense like codoy finds Terrence Mann there in the corner for the

Three and then here Jimmy Butler driving but Kawai pokes it away he is called the claw and then finishes with the dunk now again Claw is his nickname but you can also call him Mr efficiency in this game he went for 25 and 16 he’s gone for 25

Or more points on 50% shooting or better in five straight games and he’s just one of the weapons the Clippers have at their disposal right now because we go through the fourth quarter Russell Westbrook drives misses the dunk Terry Rosier gets the rebound H HZ play at UCLA and the heat t

A onepoint lead but the Clippers had James hard and he decided to just put the game in a choke hold three there and one it’s a four-point play Clippers up three and then here Harden over to Paul George he knocks down a three and then Harden like yo how do you want

It how does it feel Harden goes for 21 Points 11 assists eight rebounds Kawai had 25 points 11 rebounds Kawai Harden George scored her assist and on the Clippers final 25 made field goals a streak that extended back to the early second quarter and oh yeah by the way they win at
