Lakers v Nuggets is a beauty. Close and very physical
Torrey Craig has spent the evening guarding LeBron. It, hasn't always gone well.

Just watching now, LBJ put a savage dunk on Craig early in the 3rd quarter

This dude on the Clippers is 6'8 but has a 7'4 wingspan! His hands come to his fucking knees!

Just looking at Dwights reference page. 14 and 14 per 36mins on 74% shooting with 2.4 blocks. Pretty wild.
Shame he shoots FT's at 46%...
Did the business on Joker too.
He’s having a really good year and come the playoffs will be vital in terms of his ability to play with Lebron and AD.

@ACT-Crusader only if he can stay on the floor though. Hack-a-Dwight will definitely come out, a blight on the game IMO

The Elam ending was amazing. It completely changed the game, and it was all for the better. For those who don't know, in this format the clock in the 4th quarter is replaced with a 'target score' which in this game was 24 more than the leading team score at the end of the 3rd. The game is played until the score is reached.
The game became more tactical, more tense, and led to a much more watchable contest. The last few minutes as both sides approached the target score were gripping.
If you play this format it ends timewasting, it largely ends intentional fouls, mindless timeouts, and changes how teams would play 'crunch time' (because they have no real idea as to how long 'crunch time' will be).
At very least I think we'll see it in the G-League and a future midseason tournament if that ends up happening.

@barbarian I could see it replacing overtime too in future. It was great how the refs just let the teams play, the best players in the world going hard out for the win
-
I also haven't seen it, but any change that moves us away from international fouls and hack-a-someone has my vote. I'll never understand how officials allowed both to creep into the NBA game. 2 shots and the ball back for any intentional foul - how is that so difficult?
