Another game that came to the final minutes was between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Milwaukee bucks and Boston Celtics was a very exciting and loud game. For the Celtics, Terry Rozier hit a 3-pointer with 0.03 seconds left, many thought the game was over after that.
