Gerald Green 31 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (4/11/2018)

It’s a minor tragedy that we didn’t get to see Gerald Green keep this up for the whole game. I’m not even talking about his makes, I just wanted to see him get the record for attempts from three. He took 17 triples in the 26 minutes he played tonight, and didn’t get to play…

Wayne Ellington Career High 32 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (4/11/2018)

In case you didn’t notice the Heat commentators bringing it up every chance they got for the last few weeks, Wayne Ellington was in contention to break Miami’s single-season record for threes made. Don’t worry if you don’t really remember that Damon Jones was the record holder. That guy was, like, the king of journeymen….

Justin Anderson 25 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)

Ever since I got my microwave back in good working order (thanks to a special Buddy I have), I’ve been making sure to really appreciate all the Pop-Tarts I eat. There was a scary period of a few days where I didn’t have Pop-Tarts at all, and I hadn’t realized how important they were in…

Markelle Fultz Triple Double 13 Pts/10 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (4/11/2018)

I held off on making Markelle Fultz highlights until he had a legitimately good game. That meant he had to score more than ten points. I did this because I have standards. Some might scoff at the concept, because I will gladly make a highlight video for some no-name scrub scoring twelve points, but believe…

Josh Hart Career High 30 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (4/11/2018)

Josh Hart opened his eyes to find himself in a place he didn’t recognize. He was lying on his back, and above him rose marble columns which didn’t seem to support a roof of any kind; if there was a roof up there, it was obscured by slowly undulating clouds of the purest white. He…

Cedi Osman Career High 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (4/11/2018)

Cedi Osman scored a career-high eighteen points on a career-high eighteen field goal attempts in a career-high 39 minutes of playing time. Having the same amount of points as attempts is never a good sign, but it’s the last game of the regular season, and Osman just wanted a taste of what it’s like to…

Frank Ntilikina 16 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)

So, Frank Ntilikina finished the season shooting below 40%. Well below 40%. 36.4%, if we want to be precise about it. It’s basically an international standard at this point that 40% is the official cut-off line for an acceptable field goal percentage. Anything below that and you’re probably a marginal player at best, and you’d…

Luke Kornet Career High 23 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)

Luke Kornet walked into the visitors’ locker room and saw that there was something else, other than his jersey, waiting for him in his locker. Stepping closer, he saw that it was a small, resealable pouch of whey protein powder. He picked it up to investigate it closer, maybe return it to whatever trainer had…

Nikola Jokic 35 Points Full Highlights (4/11/2018)

Nikola Jokic walked into the now-barren Nuggets locker room. He had been putting off this moment for days, like if he didn’t clean out his locker, the season could still be going on… the act of cleaning out his locker had a certain finality about it. There was no turning back after that, no returning,…
