Five-Minute Mayhem 🎬

We were all set to count down 5 of the luckiest bounces in sports history… but then Thunder-Nuggets delivered another instant classic.

So we're doing it again: pressing pause on the past to focus on the magic that happened last night.

Let’s break it down. ⏬

🏔️ Nuggets at ⚡ Thunder

Game 5 hit a boiling point with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Nikola Jokić was rolling and the Nuggets had just retaken the lead after a quick Thunder surge.

With the score sitting at 94–92 and the crowd on its feet, the real drama was just beginning.

🎥 Watch these final 5 minutes:

What a finish! The Thunder made just enough shots down the stretch to win despite an incredible Jokić game.

🎤 When the game’s on the line and there’s 5 minutes left… what skill do YOU think matters most? Great passing? Smart defense? Clutch shooting?

Where do we go from here? The Thunder now lead the series 3–2 and head to Denver with a shot to close it out. The youngest team in the playoffs is one win away from the Western Conference Finals.

Buckle up!

Before we bounce, let’s zip through the rest of the scoreboard, starting with last night’s game that didn’t come down to the wire.

🏎️ Pacers 114, ⚔️ Cavaliers 105

The Pacers are heading to the Eastern Conference Finals! They trailed by 19 in the first half but stormed back to win behind Tyrese Haliburton’s 31 points. Now they wait to face the winner of Knicks-Celtics. See ya next year, Cavs!

What’s on tap today? Two teams have a chance to advance!

🗽 Knicks at 🍀 Celtics

• Can the Knicks close out the series on the road, or will the Celtics force a Game 6? Boston won’t have Jayson Tatum, who had surgery yesterday to repair his injured Achilles tendon.

• Experts say 59% chance Knicks win

🐺 Wolves at 🌉 Warriors

• It looks like Steph won’t be able to play… can the Warriors find a way to stay alive down 3–1?

• Experts say 65% chance Wolves win

The playoffs remind us how hard-earned wins can be. But sometimes? One bounce, one slip, one strange spin… and everything changes.

Tomorrow, we’re counting down five moments when luck rewrote the story.

See you then, Smallball-ers!
