It was 85-102 Dallas.

San Antonio went on a 13-0 run to get within 4 points.

They get one more stop, have 10+ seconds left, but then miss the shot.

At that point, you have to finish the job and make it more dramatic!

Ingles is the best player on the court right now.

2-12, Utah.

Jazz with a double digit halftime lead.

There was a period where the 3's weren't going in and Portland got close, but then the Jazz swung it back in their direction.

McCollum and Simons get it to within 102-103 for Portland.

This analogy isn't perfect, but Gobert with a goal line stand block on Lillard to seal the game.

It's not a perfect analogy because it wasn't a 1 or 2 point game at that time.

I don't have any insight as to why Portland had extended runs a few times during this game.
