NBA players react to Capitals capturing Stanley Cup

The NBA Finals were on hiatus Thursday night, with the eyes of the sports world focused squarely on Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.

The expansion Vegas Golden Knights fell short in their effort to extend the series to a sixth game, with the Washington Capitals pulling out a narrow 4-3 victory to win their first cup in dramatic fashion.

A number of NBA players from across the Association took in the action, later congratulating the Capitals and captain Alex Ovechkin for the monumental victory on social media.
