Was Brandon Knight sleep during the pregame film session? He must not have heard about the Clippers' big men. DeAndre Jordan gave him a lesson he'll never, ever, forget.

At the end of the day, behind the scoreboards and winning mantras, it's still basketball. And when it's done like this, it reminds us of why we pay so much attention to it. Jamal Crawford and Blake Griffin complete a highlight for the ages.

You have facials that are powerful (see: Barnes) and you have facials that are powerful and graceful. In Toronto, DeRozan showed some Compton love to Mozgov, whose victim status continues to be safe.

Looking back on this play months after it happened, and it still ranks as one of the weirdest buzzer-beaters I've ever seen. While J.R. Smith and James Johnson may have had more impacting game-enders, Darren Collison's non-set shot to tie the game in OKC stands above.

A stuff, a stalk and gritty staredown of a fallen Kyle Singler, then the appearance out of nowhere to finish an alley-oop that started as a chest pass. The Griffinator has one mission, people: seek and destroy. And this wasn't his most exciting play of the night.

Since Rajon Rondo went down, Jeff Green has picked up his stats, but the highlights have been consistent. Against the Lakers, his team joined him on the fun, setting TD Garden into a frenzy.

What more can one say about Kobe Bean? We create walls of "he's too old" and "he's not the same Mamba" for him to provide powerful rebuttals. The definitive "youth" moment of the season for No. 24.

There's no way somebody this tall is supposed to finish off what Kevin Durant pulled against the Denver Nuggets. But this is why he's KD and I'm not.

Those clamps LeBron had on during the 2011 NBA Finals? Distant memory. But if you think 'Bron forgot about Jason Terry's incessant chatter that series, here's proof to the contrary.

Safe to say Blake Griffin is used to the high-wire acts. Generally it's on the offensive side. Don't tell that to Deron Williams.
