NBA Gametime reacts to Nuggets complete comeback win vs. Raptors; Celtics beat Blazers reach 50 wins

Goody don’t look now but here come the defending champs the Raptors were in the mile high on Monday night and nicolea setting up Aaron Gordon man Aaron Gordon has to love the Joker huh what does anybody get more reverse dunks than Aaron Gordon only Aaron Gordon But

Here Come the Raptors Grady dick the rookie knocks down the pullup three Jaylen McDaniels with the steel he’s finishing and then Jordan a to RJ Barrett he’s throwing down the rim tonight and the Raptors L it by 17 at the half RJ Barrett to Kelly

Alen alen in for the layup and the foul they just extended him up there lenck had 24 Toronto up by 21 when Denver kicks it into a different gear Michael Porter running out to the joken there he is Jamal Murray that’s he he’s been good for a long time we got to

Give him more credit our researcher pointed that out I totally agree Jer twice remember the Joker said my finisher is back when Jamal came back Joker at 3517 and 12 21st triple double of the Season Jamal Murray to Zeke Naji for the dunk o close this one out Murray

Drives oh yeah no he didn’t no he didn’t yes he did and one more from Murray it’s the floater to fall Murray had 26 biggest comeback win of the season for the nuggets and now they have won nine of 10 couple shots um you know you

You don’t want to give up to the game and we were just fighting the whole the whole crew uh fight today and that’s we we show the character that we are not the quitters coming up how Jason Tatum and the League’s best took care of business in the Great Northwest

Fourth stop on the Celtics 5 game trip took them to Portland Oregon on Monday night game you saw right here on NBA TV 500th career game for Jason Tatum Jaylen Brown Euro stepping in for the bucket and then Brown for three Boston took control fairly early on scoot Henderson no pton Pritchard the

Or to Tatum in transition take out the defender and being able to throw it back to Jason Tatum for easy Deuce Drew holiday or christops porzingis available for the Seas DeAndre at work on the boards he had 22 and 15 there’s Tatum Boston up by 14 at the half third quarter

Brown behind the back to his running mate Boston having some fun up by 14 Pritchard to Brown inside he had 27 beautiful and then it’s Pritchard to Tatum eight assist for Pritchard as a team Boston 15 of 40 three-point range Sam Hower hit six of those and the

Game took an hour and 53 minutes not a lot of turnovers not a lot of free throws might be the shortest game of the season Boston out two and two on that trip they’ll finish up Tuesday night in Utah they become the first team 3D to 50

Wins this season what or who keeps the Celtics from the NBA Finals if coach Missoula doesn’t figure out like tonight they’re 15 to 40 from three Hower Off the Bench we know that’s what he does but when you’re starting five doesn’t shoot the ball that particularly well

Where does the defense step up to hold you down until you shoot the ball better as long as that falls into place I see them in the finals yeah I look at it I think for them is finding a way to just win some ugly games like 3D is talking

About being able to just you know get it out the mud because everything when they usually make it is and win is pretty they need some ugly winds pretty is good too it is Works be a little ugly in the CH Spurs completed a two game home and

Home San Antonio won on the road without Victor wanyama Saturday Golden State still without Steph Curry because of his ankle wmy was back and here’s visual proof that’s ridiculous missing wimy with the Ste oh watch this watch this take off and then he kind of looks a different angle

How he just looks in the rim like this so e Nerf throws off your perception completely Brandon p to Klay Thompson started in this game oh Klay hot knocks down the three Spurs up by two at the half third quarter Jeremy soan to Wy

43 F roll I should I say got the roll and then I like this pass what I like my goodness Spurs up by eight Chris Paul starting for Steph Curry sets up kaminga Jonathan tough layup and Andrew Wiggins knocks down the three it’s a 24-2 golden state

Run and they let it by 10 Trace Jackson Davis to kaminga who has learned to find his way toward the rim yes good Ball moving and vintage Clay on that shot right there Thompson had 21 Golden State’s lead is 17 Wy Strokes it sorry you stepped out

Got a set yeah 27 and 14 a couple of blocks as well Spurs still chasing it kaminga for the Dunkey at 22 wmy oh yeah no get that shot out of here all of that the NBA blocks leader get that but does not get this Trace Jackson Davis goes big game hunting got

Him and bagged himself the likely Rookie of the Year golden state gets the win 112 to 102 same two teams will meet March 31st for the for the third time this month in San Antonio uh wmy found his way to the poster in the wrong way took the loss that’s been a

Common theme of this season as well but boy every time you watch him you see a little more progress toward what he can eventually become yes indeed Matt as we roll these highlights we get a chance to see how he can impact the game on both

Ends of the floor but this tape is all about his offense and first you see the screen and roll what I love is he stops vo the charge and then goes to a nice soft very light touch left hand little layup next again set the screen and he

Buries Clay Thompson down there Clay is bumping make sure he got a little chicken wing in there that’s what you got to do on the Block and then laid it up over clay this one right here I love because they tried to set a screen Trace Jackson Jr good job going under but

Watch the handles very comfortable in traffic and he just finger rolled George gerin right over him and this last one what I love is if he can keep doing his 3D M run the floor get out as you can see just wanted it more than everybody

Else and then as he gets stronger he’ll be catching these lives and then dunking them home and not being able to lose his balance but we saw a little bit of every frame everything from this young man for Golden State they’ve been on the uptick here lately finally got a win without

Steph Curry on the floor which means Chris Paul was the starter and some vintage Chris Paul stuff happening on Monday night yeah it really was nine rebounds eight assists reminding the younger generation he still the mid range assassin still one of the best in the pick and roll action guys under

Control probing keeping the dribble alive and I noticed tonight when he knocks down his first couple shots that just feeds off the rest of the game and now he’s only one or four from three but he still takes that one with confidence that kind of loosens up the defense but

Down the stretch get to his spots find his bigs roll to the basket and still knocking down the mid-range jumper Steph Cur injury is not thought to be serious should be back in the lineup sometime soon after missing a couple with an ankle injury if golden state is stuck in

The playin which it kind of feels like right now maybe that’s where they land are they still capable of a run like what we saw with Miami last year if everything stays today and it’s Lakers gold St Warriors and the playing I lean more towards dwan and excuse me to LBJ

And AD that they would beat the Warriors because that of their size and you never want to count out LeBron James in one game no not at all and um you never want to count out Steph in one game so that’s going to be a good one because I think

Obviously uh if they get hot from the three-point line him and clay and obviously the way Wiggins and kaminga is playing it would be interesting interesting right one of those stars going home because now we’re asking Trace Jackson to slow down ad and we’re asking kaminga and Wiggins to slow down

LeBron and we know for one game and who are we asking to slow down Steph the whole the whole leam who you ask asking to slow down luuka donic and Kyrie iring they could be For Foree foree fore speech speee foree fore G Spe spee spee Foree foree spee For Spee fore foree
