Friday night’s NBA Western Conference semifinal matchup between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Denver Nuggets was an instant classic. The Blazers took a 2-1 series lead in the best-of-7 series with an insane 140-137 win at the end of the fourth overtime. It’s the first time that an NBA playoff game has reached quadruple OT status since 1953, and now Portland is two wins away from an unlikely run to the Western Conference Finals.
Among the 20,000+ fans in attendance was none other than Seattle Seahawks LB Shaquem Griffin, who was sat behind Denver’s bench, which also meant he was on the side of the court where Rodney Hood’s go-ahead three-pointer that gave Portland the lead for good.
