Thursday night in the NBA delivered heart-stopping drama with four games decided in the dying moments.
In Portland, rookie Scoot Henderson hit a clutch step-back jumper with just 0.1 seconds on the clock, giving the Trail Blazers a 122-120 win over the Utah Jazz.
Miami’s Tyler Herro followed with his own magic, nailing a 15-footer with 0.5 seconds left to edge the Heat past the Orlando Magic 89-88. Orlando’s Jalen Suggs had a chance to respond, but his buzzer-beating three-pointer rimmed out.
The Detroit Pistons pulled off the most improbable comeback, erasing a 10-point deficit in the final three minutes.
Jaden Ivey’s incredible four-point play with 3.1 seconds remaining secured a 114-113 win over the Sacramento Kings.
Meanwhile, in Washington, Jordan Poole sank a three-pointer with 8.7 seconds left, lifting the Wizards to a 113-110 win against the Charlotte Hornets.
Elsewhere, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 45 points to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to their ninth straight win with a 120-114 triumph over the Indiana Pacers, while the Memphis Grizzlies exploded for a franchise-record 155-126 points in a dominant win over the Toronto Raptors.
