NBA schedule and results: Raptors top Heat, Nuggets beat Curry-less Warriors

The game wasn’t a blowout throughout. The Clippers hung tight for a while -- J.J. Reddick had 15 points in the first two quarters to keep the Clippers in it. Parsons fired back for the Mavericks, though. He had 14 points in the first half and made all four of his three-point shots, and the Mavericks led 59-51 at the break.

With fewer than 20 games remaining, the race for playoff seeding is just heating up. If tonight’s win was any indication, the Mavericks are ready.

Hey so you’re not allowed to do this stuff in an NBA game:

It started with Shawne Williams kinda getting in Meyers Leonard’s face after a basket, then continued a few moments later when Joel Freeland arrived to accost Williams and back up Leonard. The two mushed their foreheads together until Freeland head-tossed Williams away like a ram.

This earned a double-technical:

Dennis Schröder just couldn’t help standing over Archie Goodwin after slamming one in his face, and Goodwin couldn’t just let him do that.

Man, he just DEVOURED this with one damn hand:

Can Tyler Zeller even shoot basketballs anymore? I’m not sure I’d ever be willing to try again after that.

This is a truly historic moment for one of the most reluctant (and worst) shooters to ever wear an NBA uniform. Keep firing, DeAndre! Maybe you just needed to step back!

(Jordan airballed a free throw mere minutes later. Everything is okay.)

STOP FEEDING IT T-SHIRTS, HUMANS. THAT IS THE AMMUNITION WITH WHICH IT WILL TOPPLE OUR CIVILIZATION:

That thing is seriously eerie. Haven’t you had your fill of innovative, frightening t-shirt guns, Sixers?
