Play(s) Of The Day

We're still waiting for all the results of today's action, but we can certainly bring you the Play of the Day. Actually there are two.

The first one was a half-court buzzer-beater that sent the NBA Western Conference game between the Mavs and the Thunder to overtime. Dima Kravchenko was the hero for the Mavs, who won the game in overtime.

The other one came in the Eastern Conference. An hour before their 4 p.m. game, Wlad Rudenko informed his coach that he had a hole in his basketball shoe. He wasn't sure he would be able to play with those shoes, and they were the only ones he had with him. His coached looked around to see if there was someone else who could loan him their shoes for the game.

As the tip approached, they still didn't have a solution, but teammate Alex Bambit overheard the conversation. He asked what size Wlad wore, then raced back to his room. A couple of minutes later he came back with an old pair of basketball shoes, just the right size for Wlad.

Only Alex didn't give the old shoes to Wlad. He took off his good shoes and gave them to Wlad, and then put his old shoes on his own feet.

Those are our Play(s) of the Day!
