It was a crazy night in the NBA.
There was plenty of late heroics, celebrity issues as well as a fan getting an autograph in the most unorthodox way. So without further ado enjoy the top 5 moments from Tuesday’s NBA action.
1) With his team up 103-100 and with just 7.1 seconds left in the game, Russell Westbrook sealed the game with this emphatic left-handed dunk. Game. Over.

2) Drake has been known to mess with players from his courtside seat. While supposedly Drake and Kevin Durant are friends, it was anything but Tuesday night when Drake purposely bumped into Durant during an interview after the game.
When asked what he thought of “Drake Night,” Durant replied, “I don’t give a **** about no **** Drake night.”
It’s probably safe to say that the two didn’t hang out afterwards.

3) Chris Paul had a layup he’ll remember for the rest of his life, and it wasn’t in a good way. After jumping in front of a pass, Paul thought he has an easy layup before he was rejected in one of the most embarrassing plays of the season.
But Paul got the last laugh as he got the ball back and ended up drawing a foul in one of the most bizarre possessions we’ll see this year.

4) Phoenix guard Devin Booker was ejected after receiving his second technical foul of the night. Instead of arguing with the refs, Booker, with a smile on his face, calmly gave the refs a thumbs up, waved goodbye to his teammates on the bench, and he even stopped to sign an autograph for a fan on his way to the locker room. Booker finished the night with 24 points and four rebounds.
That moment when you get ejected but you still take the time to sign autographs on your way to the locker room ?https://t.co/QtDTZM2rG0 #NBA

5) After Marc Gasol hit a three-pointer — which ended up being the go-ahead score in Memphis’ 111-107 victory — the Spaniard did a little dance as he imitated Conor McGregor’s ‘billionaire walk’ to celebrate.
Shake it big fella. Marc Gasol drains a 3-pointer (then dances) as Grizzlies upset Clippers on the road. https://t.co/xIacypISov #NBA
