- Crowder looking, throws an alley-oop. Oh, Ayton puts it down! He puts it down!

JARED QUAY: In one of the wildest finishes in playoff basketball history, the Suns scored off an inbound pass from Jae Crowder to Deandre Ayton with just 0.8 seconds. Following two massive misses at the free throw line by Paul George, Atyon used a Devin Booker screen to dive to the hoop and guide home the pass for the win.

With Chris Paul out and Devin Booker having a rough night shooting, perhaps because of a broken nose, Ayton was a monster around the basket All night. Even Russell Westbrook's former dance partner Cam Payne stepped up for the Suns with 29 points. The Suns have now won nine straight playoff games. And after this thriller, we can't wait for game 3 back in LA. I just hope they have one of those defibrillators near Steve Ballmer's seat. Because if it's another close one like this, he might not make it.

The NBA draft lottery also took place last night, and I mostly watched because of that guy that opens the envelope is hypnotic.

- The eighth pick will be made by the Orlando Magic.

JARED QUAY: The Detroit Pistons, who haven't had a number 1 overall pick since 1970, landed the top spot. The Rockets grabbed the second pick, while the Cavs at number 3 and the Raptors at number 4 both moved up a few spots from where they were expected to land. Orlando, meanwhile, had a bit of bad luck, dropping out of the top 3 and down to number 5.

- Ouch, baby.

JARED QUAY: This year's top prospect is Oklahoma State's Cade Cunningham, but he's followed closely by Gonzaga's point guard Jalen Suggs and USC's big man Evan Mobley. In other NBA news, the Harlem Globetrotters sent a letter to Adam Silver in an attempt to make them the next franchise.

- Yes.

JARED QUAY: I'm all for it. When it's game 47 and we need something to spice up the midseason slump, let's do that thing where they pretend to toss bucket of water at the ref. But it's just confetti, so you can get teed up for that. The confetti technical. That's a fun one.

And finally, while most athletes are posting flattering videos of themselves on social media, Jameis Winston continues to do the exact opposite. When you go left, they go right, big fella. Yo, look at that footwork.

Yo, I wonder if "Dancing With the Stars" has reached out to him already. Yo, Jameis, that don't look like your training for football. That looks like you're training for an MMA fight. Who knows, Taysom Hill. It's going to be a real quarterback battle. And by that, I mean get an octagon around them boys.
