First half was really exciting and then I went to bed lol. It was tough to tell if the refs were just letting them play or if the Wolves have the sneakiest hands in the history of the NBA. There must have been like 6 or 7 plays in the first half where the Lakers had a wide open layup and then out of nowhere somebody gets there and pops the ball away. Minnesota has athleticism for days.

Unfortunately, Minny turned the ball over 24 times lol. It was an ugly game, with some questionable calls towards the end (definitely weren’t letting them play by then, at least LA), but entertaining nonetheless. I never counted LA out.

Wolves just ran out of gas. If Edwards didn't get hurt on the fall I thought they would have easily won. He was a bystander for the 4th quarter and overtime and they desperately needed some juice as everyone was stuck in the muck. Kudos to the Lakers for hanging around though.

I wouldn't mind it if DeMar eliminated the Raptors tonight. That would be kind of cool. He deserves it.

The Bulls can go ahead and have the privilege of losing to the Bucks in the first round. If they can get past Kyle Lowry's Heat, that is.

High pressure elimination game means Pat Bev will definitely lose his shit at some stage.

I don't watch much NBA, but game 1 of Golden State/Sacramento was fantastic. The Kings are so fun to watch and Golden State is never out of a game.

There are legitimately 4-5 must watch series in the first round. That hardly ever happens.

Clippers-Suns, Warriors-Kings, Lakers-Grizzlies. And then Cavs-Knicks I guess?
