No way that wasn't scripted. Shouldn't have ended on a free throw. Terrible way to end an allstar game.
I know the NBA is all about offense right now, but it was amazing to see such amazing defense in that 4th quarter last night. With the exception of Harden and Kemba, all 8 guys on the floor were ELITE defensive players. It was fun to see the effort, communication and smarts on defense on both sides. The rotations and help were so fun to watch (especially when we watch this dumpster fire of a defense every single game). Good thing Kawhi didn't choose the Lakers because he, LeBron and AD were smothering in the front court and shut down Giannis. It made me realize that CJ is playing defense on a high school level.
It's wrong. Harden fouled Siakam giving up shots and then on the offensive end he turned the ball over when he charged Lowry. Giannis got an open look but missed the shot. This all happened in the last couple minutes. If you are going off points? The TO cost them 2 and the foul cost them 2. They don't have a box score so i cannot give you exact numbers. But Harden played like crap.
Im just going off what I read that the guy Harden was guarding didn't really ever score on him, but I don't know.
