The Manu Ginobili block. The Houston Rockets trailed the San Antonio Spurs by three points in the closing seconds of overtime in Game 5. They got the ball in the right hands, as James Harden attempted the potential tying 3-pointer, but Ginobili came from behind and made a clean block that sealed the 110-107 win for the Spurs and a 3-2 lead in the series.

Ross Stripling running as if he is "trying to run away from a bear." The Los Angeles Dodgers tied the Pittsburgh Pirates with Cody Bellinger's two-out single in the ninth. The Dodgers then won the game in the 10th when Austin Barnes singled home the not-so-nimble-footed Stripling. After the game, Stripling said he was just running as fast as he could, as if he were "trying to run away from a bear."

The Erik Karlsson goal. The Ottawa Senators eliminated the New York Rangers and advanced to the Eastern Conference final with a 4-2 win in Game 6. The big goal came on a nifty pass by Bobby Ryan from behind the net to Karlsson in the second period that made it 3-1. The Rangers were able to make it 3-2 early in the third but could never get the tying goal.
