A sad day in basketball.
Tweets of the Day: Dunk of the Year?
The Jazz vs Raptors game taught us three things: DeMar DeRozan has no regard for human life; Rudy Gobert is a Dragon Ball Z fan; and Rudy Gobert is still in the running for Twitter MVP.

So, LeBron went home, played at the city’s “biggest sporting event” and lost; Melo got buckets; and OKC’s roster went to shhhiiiit. We missed you, NBA.
