NBA fans make fun of the Blazers

With 22 seconds left in the game, the Orlando Magic had 109 points while the Portland Trail Blazers had 106 points. But the Blazers had the ball and were in control of the ball majority of the time. And yet they missed multiple opportunities to score at the end of the game. The NBA Twitter mocked the Blazers for the same.

Damian Lillard drove the ball to the basket, but he was too quick with the momentum to dunk the ball. Strike 1. So he swiftly passed the ball to Jusuf Nurkic. Nurkic therein passed it to Jerami Grant who attempted to shoot the ball. Missed. The ball went back to Lillard who passed it to Grant, who passed to Nurkic. He shot the ball. Another miss. But it didn’t end there. The ball was caught by Anfernee Simons who tried to shoot a triple. But his efforts were in vain. The whistle blew and the Magic won.
