NBA schedule and results: Kyrie Irving leads a thrilling Cleveland comeback

Kyrie Irving didn’t just score 57 points to lead the Cavaliers to an incredible comeback victory over the Spurs. He scored 57 points against one of the league’s best defenses without really having any good looks.

In celebration of this performance, we’d like to show you just how difficult each of Irving’s 20 made field goals actually were. Without further ado:

DO YOUR THING, CHILD. DON’T LET YOURSELF BE CENSORED BY CRUEL ADULTS:

It’s a Knicks *opponent* tossing a basketball miles away from the backboard Thursday night. Ryan Kelly is not left-handed. Like, completely not left-handed. After seeing this I’m wondering if the fingers on that hand even move:

And unlike Alexey Shved, who they’re alluding to in this highlight, Kelly was definitely shooting. That was supposed to go in the basket. It actually almost did ... but only after hitting the top edge of the backboard.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Charles Barkley trip over the name of an international NBA player. Remember the Great Jonas Valanciunas Fiasco of 2014? Good times.

With Sir Charles on the call for the Cavs-Spurs game on Thursday, Barkley had the opportunity to try to pronounce Matthew Dellavedova’s name. It took him a few tries, and it still didn’t go so well.

This is presumably what Manu Ginobili saw when he made this pass.

How??

The Washington Wizards are putting a hurting on a shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies team on Thursday night, but that doesn’t mean it’s all been good.

Guess he’s awake now.

Wizards fans would call this “pulling an Otto Porter.“ NBA fans might call this ”pulling a James Harden.” But while this kind of defensive off-ball lapse does happen to almost everyone from time to time, it rarely happens so blatantly in the span of a few minutes in one quarter. Someone throw water on John Wall’s face to pull him out of his trance.
