The Skinny:
"Charlotte has the Eastern Conference’s best front line. Despite it’s inconsistencies, despite it’s fateful flaws, they’re still capable of coming up with a better than plausibly live performance. This did so tonight. Denying Rocky’s dreams until finally, after 47-plus minutes of sticking fingers in the dike, Kenyon Martin was ultimately able to THROW IT DOWN!!!"

Nominated by:

NBA TV's Bill Walton

The Skinny:

"In the closing minutes of the third quarter with the game still seemingly in doubt, it looked as if Dallas was going to make a run. Mike Bibby got the ball on the left wing, executed a clean pick-and-roll, the defense closed yet he split the narrowest of schemes and got to the basket, converting yet another beautiful flip lay-up --- ultimately crushing the dreams and spirits of the Mavericks. Sending them off into the night, with admonition … ‘Thanks for coming to my party.’"

Nominated by:

NBC's Snapper Jones

The Skinny:

Kobe Bryant stuns the San Antonio crowd with the long-armed rebound and put-back in traffic to give the Lakers a commanding 3-1 lead in the series.

Contender: Bibby in OT (2%)

1,285k AVI | QT | 300k

Nominated by:

NBA TV's Bill Walton

The Skinny:

"It’s a close call. Was it Rick Adelman, who started Bobby Jackson instead of Hedo Turkoglu? Was it Bobby Jackson’s brilliance on the offensive end? Those were all important plays, but it was Mike Bibby -- who missed the game winner at the end of regulation – nailing an even more difficult shot in overtime. His basket in overtime gave Sacramento the impetus to ring the Chimes of Freedom Fighting."
