The 2017-18 NBA season is drawing to a close and we’re looking back at the five craziest games from a crazy year.

In the blink of an eye, the season is almost over, and it’s gone exactly the way

everyone

nobody thought it would. The Golden State Warriors aren’t in first, the Cleveland Cavaliers essentially collapsed and had to be built midseason, and the Philadelphia 76ers are rolling up everyone in their path.

Over 1,200 games have already been played this season. Some of them have been worth watching. Some haven’t.

I picked out the five best based on how close they were, entertainment value, the quality of the teams involved and the importance at the time they were played.
