  4. definition of strong team, always find a way to win game down the stretch regardless how much they were trailing. Meanwhile bad team always found a way to lose game with turnovers and bad defense or got cold in shooting spree.

  7. NUGGETS ARE A HOT MESS RIGHT NOW!!!!!! AND STILL FINDING WAYS TO WIN!! THAT NON-GOALTENDING CALL FOR NEW ORLEANS IN OT WAS COMPLETE BS!!!!!!!! POETIC JUSTICE THE NUGGETS WON ANYWAY!! the dj

  10. That was one of the worst breakdowns of a team I've seen…new orleans..pathetic!…literally gave it away..can't even make free throws…pathetic…this is how u can tell if a team is a winner or losers

  16. The whole ending sequence is what's wrong with the NBA right now. Nobody wants to watch constant free throw attempts at the end of the game. Look at the people leaving because they know it's just going to be foul, free throw, foul, free throw. I get that these teams want to win so ofc they're going to do whatever it takes, but it should be the NBA's job to change the rules and FORCE players and coaches to adapt to a change in regulations. The game needs some new rule change or else every single close game will end like this from now on.

  18. my god the pels have 0% trust to missi a lot of pick and roll opportunity in the final minutes and all cj and murray pass back and forth outside smh.

  30. I thought if you intentionally foul in the final minutes. The opposing team can choose who can take the shot.

    I remember this being implemented to stop the hack-a-shaq strats

  42. Thank you NBA for adding this highlight. Please keep doing that with close games. This was a David vs Goliath match and the Pels really put up a fight. Excellent game!

  45. So nobody is gonna mention how when Murray made the game tying shot to Overtime the shotclock was wrong. They should only have 14 seconds in the shot clock since it came from an offensive rebound that is why they stopped the play for a sec to change the shot clock yet you can see that they still have 18 seconds shotclock after that break and if they made that 14 second shotclock then Nuggets will be in shot clock violation.
