The 3 plays in sports everybody will be talking about today
Good morning! Here are the plays everybody will be talking about Wednesday.
Peak Stephen Curry. We all know Curry is the greatest shooter on earth, a great passer, and a great handler of the basketball. But two things Curry doesn't get enough credit for are his improved defense and his hockey assists (the pass that leads to the assist on a basket). Curry is fourth in the NBA with 2.2 steals a game, and he leads the NBA in hockey assists at 2.4 a game. On this gorgeous play we see both. The Warriors beat the Rockets, 123-110.
Chris Bosh found the fountain of youth. Not a lot of people were watching Bosh during his Toronto Raptors days, but back then, Bosh was a legit NBA scorer with some devastating moves and a nice soft touch from outside. That got lost a little when he teamed up with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade and people started paying attention. But Classic Bosh came out to play Tuesday night. The Heat, however, would fall to the Spurs, 119-101.
Kristaps continues to display low-post moves as if he is a veteran from the '80s. Here is a spin-move dunk that looks nice and simple enough, but there are some subtleties here that make it great. Watch the defender. The Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis waits for the defender to make a mistake before going into the spin zone. As Carmelo Anthony cuts toward the top of the lane, Porzingis gives a very subtle fake pass, the defender leans just a little bit in that direction, and it was game over. Kristaps spins, the defender nearly falls over from leaning the wrong way, and Porzingis gets an easy dunk. Porzingis finished with 20 points, but the Knicks lost to the Wizards 111-108.
