Caris LeVert: Brooklyn Nets Vs Trail Blazers

Caris LeVert goes for 37, but Nets fail to send Trail Blazers home: 134-133. In the end, Portland led the Nets, 134-133 with timing running out. The ball was in Caris LeVert’s hands where he had 37 points and nine assists to his name. He brought the clock down, waiting patiently so he could end Portland’s season. He crossed left, hesitated, stepped back, and put a little too much on his shot. No good and three NBA fanbases in Portland, Phoenix, and Memphis went into a frenzy. This turned out to be the final score: Portland 134, Nets 133. The Trail Blazers will get a play-in game against the Memphis Grizzlies, while the Brooklyn Nets brace for the playoffs vs. Toronto on Monday. The Nets finish the regular season at 35-37 with a 5-3 record inside the bubble; 7-3 total under head coach Jacque Vaughn and 9-4 since March 1.

The half-court heave brought Portland within four with 10:27 remaining in the game. Lillard finished the night with 42 points and 12 assists, despite Brooklyn blitzing him every chance they got, whether it was off a pick-and-roll or whether it came the second he crossed half court.
