– Miracle, Brooklyn won a basketball game! After 11 straight losses, the Nets pulled out of the hole at home to Sacramento. Without Kyrie Irvingni Kevin Durant and Ben SimmonsSteve Nash’s players fought back in part thanks to the facelift at the deadline.
For his first game, Seth Curry scored 23 points at 10/18 with 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Another recent recruit, Andre Drummond brought 11 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Bruce Brown had his best game of the season with 19 points, 6 assists and 5 steals.
That jumper is so smooth.

– The Knicks collapse, episode 56. In control of operations in the second half with an 11-point lead, New York lost in overtime at home against Oklahoma City. Even with a triple-double of Julius Randle (30 pts, 13 rebounds, 10 wts) and 29 pointsEvan FournierThibodeau’s men did not finish the job.
The youth of the Thunder, embodied by Josh Giddeyin triple-double (28 pts, 12 pds, 11 rbds), and Three Mann (30 pts), the franchise’s most recent first two draft rounds, prevailed.
⛈️ @tre2mann3 and @joshgiddey each score career highs in the @okcthunder OT win!

– DeMar DeRozan is the king of the 4th quarter this season, among others. The Bulls All-Star made misery for his former team in San Antonio last night, with 40 points (his 7th game in a row with 30 points or more), including 19 in the 4th quarter alone. No other player has scored more points (431) than DeRozan this season in the NBA in the final period.
40 POINTS for @DeMar_DeRozan.

– We thought we would see Portland dip in the standings after the moves around the deadline. Exactly the opposite is happening. The Blazers took advantage of the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo to win in Milwaukee and record a third victory in a row.
Anfernee Simons (31 pts), has a lot to do with it, in particular thanks to its rising external address.
– While his old team is perking up, CJ McCollum makes its mark with New Orleans. His first victory with the Pelicans came that night, on the walk against Toronto. With 23 points at 9/13, McCollum led the way before the wide advantage in favor of NOLA prompted Willie Green to rotate.
– Rudy Gobert made his return after 9 matches of absence with the Jazz. The Frenchman took part in the easy victory at home against Houston by putting up 14 points in 22 minutes, before taking his place on the bench once the meeting was over. Donovan Mitchell (30 pts) et Bojan Bogdanović (22 pts) did most of the work in attack.
– The Clippers played a great turnout to defeat Golden State tonight. Nicholas Batum (14 pts, 8 rbds, 2 stls) and his comrades showed solidity and efficiency against the second best team in the NBA.
Terance Mann (25 pts) had never scored so much this season. We believed Stephen Curry left for a 50-point game, but the Warriors point guard stopped at 33 and had a more difficult second half.
– The Pistons suffered their 8th straight loss on the Washington floor. Kyle Kuzma (23 pts), KCP (16 pts) et Deni Avdija (12 pts, 15 rebounds, his NBA record) weighed heavily. Killian Hayes played 12 minutes off the bench for 3 assists and no basket scored.
– Denver took over Orlando with 26 points for Nikola Jokic and a balanced attack where 5 other players have scored at least 10 points. The Nuggets did not shake and consolidate their place in the top 6 in the West.
