Man, this Dick Vitale/Bill Walton commentating combo was pretty much totally awful/sweet. I can’t tell which. I think a basketball game happened at some point between Vitale’s ecstatic moaning and Walton’s strangely earnest ramblings. Again, it’s hard to tell. Kyle Korver scored 22 points amidst the chaos, dropping in a bunch of threes while that…

Nikola Jokic 15 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/15/2017)
This was not a good game for Nikola Jokic. Even the best players have off nights sometimes, that’s just the way things go.
