Even though it’s the offseason for the Blazers and forward Nicolas Batum, that doesn’t stop him from getting shots up against his dog who puts up some pretty enthusiastic defense.

Dunk of the Night

The Thunder responded tonight to show the Spurs still have holes that can be exposed. However, forward Kawhi Leonard showed why they will be extremely tough to actually knock them out with this vicious slam on Serge Ibaka. Welcome to the Western Conference Finals Serge, get used to the speed of the series quick.

Buzzer-Beater of the Night

One massive reason the Thunder pulled out the win tonight is because guard Russell Westbrook is unstoppable when he gets that look in his eye. Check his unlimited range as he pulls up and nails this buzzer-beating three.

In the words of Mars Blackmon, “It’s Gotta be the Shoes, Right?” Well, maybe not in the case of Thunder forward Kevin Durant since we’re pretty sure he would be getting buckets barefoot out there, but these are a sick pair of KD’s to say the least.

Block of the Night

Last night, the HEAT continue to prove why they could be the best team in the East against the Pacers as they took a 2-1 lead. But, the HEAT will need to continue to out-work the intense Pacers’ defense and keep center Ian Mahinmi from doing this to Chris Bosh regularly.

Swag of the Night

Spurs guard Danny Green certainly has championship-caliber swag to go with the Spurs’ lofty championship goals this year.
