For the second time in NBA playoffs history, a game went to a fourth overtime in a tilt between the Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets. Also, the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Boston Celtics on the road in Game 3, but Jaylen Brown had a monster dunk on Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Hood with a dagger triple
The Denver Nuggets had a one-point lead late in the fourth overtime against the Portland Trail Blazers, but Rodney Hood sank a three-pointer with 5.6 seconds remaining to give his team a 138-136 lead.

Brown with a monster slam!
The Boston Celtics failed to take advantage of home court and suffered a 123-116 defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks and now they must get a victory in Game 4 before the series moves back to Milwaukee. Even though it’s normal to see Giannis Antetokounmpo getting fantastic dunks, this time around, Jaylen Brown posterized him with no respect.
Leave Giannis alone, Jaylen

Lillard’s winner recreated in Lego
Do you remember Damian Lillard’s game-winning triple from beyond 30 feet in Game 5 against the OKC Thunder? Of course you do. You probably saw it over and over, but this time around you have an opportunity to relive that moment in Lego style!
Dame’s game-winner was recreated in Lego and the creator didn’t miss any details
