Dress it up and make it real for us, NBA. March usually connotes college basketball, but the pros have forged their own share of moments throughout the years.
Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points on March 2, 1962. Cleveland made a furious six-point comeback in the final 33.9 seconds in a game at San Antonio on March 12, 2015. JaVale McGee had a triple double — with blocks, mind you — on March 15, 2011. This is the month of Devin Booker 70-pieces, cloudy-eyed Bob Cousy Day and No. 45 Michael Jordan.
The forthcoming slate looks solid. The New York Knicks get the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers, while the Memphis Grizzlies earn a pair of national TV looks. ABC will have its weekend tripleheader, while League Pass will have its usual share of room-shakers, weird finishes and delightful frivolities.
Here are a handful of interesting games, for different reasons and to varying degrees.
