Sacramento narrowly escapes Denver with an unlikely tip for the game winner at the season opener on Wednesday evening.

It was a pretty wild first « official » plan of the 2020-21 NBA season. We had bank shots on the summer and now we have wild tips on the summer. Buddy Hield, the guardian of the Sacramento Kings, ended a wild sequence with a last-second tip to give the Kings a 124-122 win over the Denver Nuggets in OT at the season opener on Wednesday night.

After Harrison Barnes forced sales for an inbounds game on Nikola Jokic, the Kings forward went on a runaway and missed a dunk. Don’t worry, Hield was right there to pick up the pieces and give the Kings the W to start the season. Check out the video here courtesy of Bleacher Report:

Hield finished the tournament with 22 points for the Kings, who got up to 8 points. 5 point underdogs on the way into the game. The Nuggets didn’t play well in defense and Jamal Murray had a miserable game, scoring 9 points in 9-1 shooting and 5-0 in afterlife. Jokic had a monster 29-15-14 triple-double and Michael Porter Jr. . supported him with 24 points. The big difference in the game was in the glass.
