When this dog did what it did on the court during half time, it was a real sign of what type of night it was for the Phoenix Suns. Things were horrible for them.
And with 8 minutes to go in the game, Fox seemingly puts the nail in the coffin for the Suns, making it a 22 point game.
Dating back to the bubble, teams that were down 22 points in the fourth had a combined score of 0-1244. That is 0 wins and more than a thousand losses. So the odds were against Phoenix.
I was about to turn the game off and go to bed, but I noticed that KD is still playing strong and aggressive defense, blocking the shot here which opened up the fast break for Phoenix and a little 4-0 run for them.
At this point I’m like, ok let me give it just a couple more possessions. And as soon as I said that, watch what happens:
Hold on, did you catch that? Let me rewind it.
Even tho it’s just for a split second, you see the first pump by KD. He still truly believes that they have a shot to win this game, despite it being a 15 point deficit.
But despite that, this is still a 17 point game with just 5 minutes to go. However, look at the suffocating defense that the Suns are playing, the level of effort that they’re putting, leading to easy opportunities and quick points on offense to cut into the lead little by little.
And with this 3 you know that everyone is fired up and Phoenix is all the way back in the game. Now the crowd is going crazy, the intensity is even higher, and under that pressure Sacramento coughs it up, as the drama continues. Leading to an Eric Gordon 3 to make it a 1 possession game with a minute to go.
Now watch how inexplicable this is: As the Kings miss this shot, what is Sabonis doing here? Why are you chasing Booker all the way back here, so as he falls we got this…
A 19-2 run in 4 and a half minutes to tie the game. Unbelievable. Now it’s chaos, the Kings don’t even know what they’re running. Fox forces one up and rims out. To make matters even worse, Sabonis also fouls KD on the loose ball so you put a sniper at the free throw line and you of course he’s going to knock down both shots to give Phoenix the lead.
Now all of a sudden you have to score a bucket to save yourself, and thankfully for the Kings, D’Aaron finally gets a bucket for them to tie it.
But unfortunately for him, he would be involved on the defensive end as well, and not in a good way…
You see that this is a clear foul, putting Durant on the line once again, and KD stays clutch to once again give them the lead in the final seconds. All they need now to complete this epic comeback is just 1 final stop.
Unbelievable! You see the reaction by Durant as they get a much needed win.
The NBA proves once again that you can never celebrate too early, however big the lead is.
Another night with a thriller ending after the one between Miami and Brooklyn, where the Nets gave away the win with some questionable decisions at the end. Check out exactly what happened right here. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
