There’s nothing more thrilling than last-gasp winners in the NBA, and sports betting fans were fortunate as today’s wild basketball showdown featured some of the best buzzer-beaters of the season that sent betting odds crashing.
Sure enough, those who punt through Asian Handicap Betting are also celebrating like crazy right now just like the winning teams.
Indiana Pacers 97-96 Atlanta Hawks
2017 Slam Dunk Champion and Pacers guard Glenn Robinson III finished with only 11 points, but he banked the game-winning three-pointer to give Indiana an important road win.
The Pacers had a terrific night from deep, with Paul George leading with six treys as he notched 34 points. However, the Hawks put them to the test with their solid defence that allowed them to get a dozen steals.
Golden State Warriors 112-105 New York Knicks
The Warriors are obviously missing Kevin Durant’s contributions on both ends of the floor, and that was particularly evident as they struggled to neutralise the Knicks. They were lucky though that Steph Curry and Klay Thompson found their mojo and combined for 60 points to at least fill the scoring void left by Durant.
Boston Celtics 106-109 Phoenix Suns
Five points in the final five seconds sealed the victory for the Suns in front of a jubilant home crowd. It was definitely the upset of the day as Tyler Ulis nailed the three at the buzzer after Eric Bledsoe tied the game at 106-all. Isaiah Thomas has a reason to be frustrated as his 35-point effort went in vain.
Orlando Magic 114-115 Washington Wizards
Bojan Bogdanovic’s three with 46 seconds left might not be as exciting as the other game-winners today, but it was crucial for the Wizards who had a difficult time finding their groove on the offence in the first half. Bogdanovic ended the game with 27 points on 75 percent shooting as he further proved why Washington acquired him at the trade deadline.
Utah Jazz 110-109 Sacramento Kings
Another thrilling encounter was on the books at Sacramento as Rudy Gobert propelled Utah to an overtime victory. Trailing by as much as 16 points, Utah used a 28-16 fourth quarter to send the game to the extra period. Gobert then finished the job with a tip-in at the death of time to frustrate the Kings who got big games from their starters.
Gobert tallied 16 points and 24 boards in the match while Rodney Hood and Gordon Hayward combined for 51.
Oklahoma City Thunder 89-104 Dallas Mavericks
In the most lopsided victory today, the Mavs silenced the Thunder behind Seth Curry and Harrison Barnes. Dirk Nowitzki was also pivotal in the win as he grabbed a double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds. Oklahoma, meanwhile, relied heavily on Russell Westbrook’s 29 points with the other starters scoring only a total of 24. It surely didn’t help that Victor Oladipo is still out.
New Orleans Pelicans 105-97 Los Angeles Lakers
The Pelicans will celebrate any win they get with their twin tower, but this gruelling affair with the West-worst Lakers won’t satisfy Alvin Gentry. The Lakers not only had a better shooting percentage, but they also outrebounded the Pelicans who have two of the best big men in the league. Fortunately, the Purple and Gold – with their 25 turnovers – are doing their best to tank this season.
