What happened in the Knicks vs. Blazers game?
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, the Knicks hit a game winner, the Jazz got fined for tanking, and Jay King joins the show to talk about how the Thunder handled the Celtics. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, S. Morning, Dave. What a game. What a day.
What a game.
What a game. And we're not talking about Nuggets, Wolves, or Thunder Celtics, although Thunder Celtics was maybe.
It was a great game.
It's going to be on the list of games of the year, and we went pretty deep on that on both sides, not just the Celtics with Jay, because Jay is so good about covering every team. So stick around after the break, guys. We're going to go deep on Celtics Thunder and talk about what this game means for potential finals. matchup, but man, the game last night. I think we got another game of the year winner. How about this?
You know?
Knicks and Blazers going down to the wire in overtime. The Knicks win on a McHale Bridges just straight away, top of the key, three-point make at the buzzer, but... Before we get to how the Knicks win this game and just pull out a gutty win, we got to talk about the Blazers, man. They continue to just play tough. By the way, Chauncey Billups coaches the Blazers. I don't know if you guys know this. Not everybody watches the Blazers. But it's good that we're confirming that we know that Chauncey Billups. And only I mean, we I just saw him. So, you know, and the Pistons are above 500.
That's right. Above. That's right.
But look, Portland, this this game, you know, if you haven't seen a lot of Portland, I think this one would be a good one to go back to. Totally. Yeah. You know, if you're a real basketball nerd, these guys are young. They're playing under control. And I think the guy that stands out to most to me in the recent weeks and especially last night's game, Scoot Henderson, 30 points. And the way that he took over for Portland down the stretch, fourth quarter and in overtime. And he really gave him a really good chance to win it, not to mention taking it into overtime.
Who stood out in the Blazers vs. Knicks matchup?
Right. He was awesome. Awesome. I mean, most of his points were in the second half. And to your point about the decisiveness, he was so decisive at trying to score the ball in the fourth quarter. There were multiple possessions in the last two minutes. He hit that crazy bank shot three, then got downhill, finished in the lane, then got downhill, drew a foul. His decisiveness at what he wants to do, the way he's leveraging his explosiveness in the paint to get to the rim, All of that is really fun to watch. And I have this fun nugget for you. So last season, Scoot Henderson had 10 games where he scored 20 plus points. Since January 1st, he's already had eight games, including tonight. So he's been such a decisive score over the last, I don't know, about 30 games for the Blazers. And they've been 500. And look, there are so many other guys we can talk about. And we have talked about with this Blazers team, Tamani Kamara, obviously Shaden Sharp. Donovan Klingin has been pretty good for them as well.
It felt like he was getting a rebound every single time they needed it down the stretch.
He's massive.
He is so big. He had a great block, you know, clutch block in this game. And Denny Obdia had 27, 15 rebounds, five offensive rebounds from Denny.
We could have been talking about the Denny Obdia game winner.
Cause he hit the clutch basket before bridges hit the shot. I mean, that's what I was setting up for. I was like, Oh, I'm going to have a whole thing on Denny, but let's swing it to, you know, again, the Portland man, what they're doing. Yeah. Ethical. It is ethical. They're playing the young guys. They're getting, they're getting real game reps.
We talked to Sean Hyken and I asked him about like, is this the pre-leap? I'm starting to believe that this really is the pre-leap.
It feels like it, man. They're so competitive in every single game for the Knicks. Look, This is a gutsy win without Jalen Brunson, their offense, you know, it's not the easiest thing to come together. He hit some of the toughest shots and, and this was a clutch game that they won without the most clutch guy in the league. So I think you've got to tip your cap to them.
