Unfortunately, the NBA used up all of its points earlier in the season
Defense is back, baby.
Good morning. It’s Monday. Let’s basketball. But first, here’s Pintura from Portuguese artist Amadeo de Souza Cardoso (1911).
Scores
Friday
Hornets 100, Wizards 112 — The streak is over! The Wizards’ skid won’t reach Pistonian levels!
Magic 74, Knicks 98 — You take the Knicks’ amazing defense, you replace all the scorers with more defenders and this is what you get.
Timberwolves 104, Cavaliers 113 (OT) — I’m sure my friends in Wolvesland don’t appreciate it but Minnesota losing the game essentially on Rudy Gobert implying the refs are paid off is a hilarious resolution to this game.
Gobert picked up an absurdly large $100,000 fine for that gesture.
Anthony Edwards in the fourth quarter and OT: 0/8 in 13 minutes.
Heat 100, Thunder 107 — Great effort by OKC to work back and maintain control.
Rockets 123, Blazers 107 — Holy smokes this might be the Dunk of the Year from Jalen Green.
Bucks 122, Lakers 123 — When D’Angelo Russell is cooking he really cooks. And look at the defensive stop from Spencer Dinwiddie!
