NBA fans fume league is ‘rigged’ and claim ‘they make it so obvious’ after ‘unbelievable’ in-game moments
NBA fans have become suspicious after watching three major comebacks take place on the same night, one of which allowed the Golden State Warriors to beat the 20-win Boston Celtics.
The Warriors hardly led throughout the game but overcame a 17-point deficit to beat the C's 132-126 in overtime on Tuesday.
Steph Curry's quick-fire triple with 12 seconds left on the clock sealed the win for the Dubs while ending Boston's five-game winning streak.
That same night, the star-studded Phoenix Suns squandered a 16-point lead and fell 109-104 to the struggling Portland Trail Blazers.
Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans were ahead by as many as 24 points against the Memphis Grizzlies.
But inspired by Ja Morant's return from a 25-game suspension, the Grizzlies rallied back and past NOLA to take a 115-113 win.

And NBA fans couldn't believe their eyes having checked the Tuesday scores.
"The @NBA is rigged, all the teams came back from +15 wtf they make it so obvious," one wrote.
"NBA script writers having an unbelievable season," another added.
"I guess they rigged up both these underdogs to win outright Warriors and Blazers," a third said.
"This NBA s**t rigged lmao," one wrote.
Morant logged 34 points, six rebounds, eight assists, and two steals and hit the game-winning layup in his 2023-24 NBA season debut.
He then expressed his delight to be back on the hardwood.
"I'm a dog, I'm a dog. I've been putting work in man," he said.
"I haven't played a game in eight months, had a lot of time to learn myself.
"A lot of hard days where I went through it but basketball is my life, what I love, therapeutic to me and I'm just excited to be back."
Morant also gave credit to his teammates for the support he received during his eight-month break from competitive basketball.
