Cavs STUN Mavs in huge comeback, Thunder keep rolling & KD’s frustrations growing | SportsCenter

What did he do on Christmas 50 just wrap it up and put a bow on it so what is it going to do this time coming off of 50 Mavs and Cavs that rhymes no Donovan Mitchell for the Cavs out for his fourth straight game he is sick it’s okay for

The Mavs though because they still have Luca Luca hot start just picking up where he left off beating Jared Allen one on on car slver easy second game this season with 20 points in the first quarter uh the other one happened to the 16th for the record the rest of the NBA

Has two Mavs up 13 it’s comfortable that no look is ridiculous it look like he was going for the layup no instead gets it to Seth Curry Curry makes the three the Mavs led by 12 at the end of one in the second much of the same Mavs up nine

Luca I’m going to do all by myself little toddler style 29 Points for Luca in the first half the Mavs 15-point lead at at the break in the third more Luca 34 points for Luca through three Mavs up eight but this like I said this game is now getting closer and in the

Fourth Mavs up five donic that pass not great Max Tru this is good not easy makes it look a little better Mavs down three down one give them the lead Caris LeVert how about that three he had 29 they were down as many as 20 but the

Mavs have the answer and of course it comes from Luca Luca big three down six cut eight to three Luca had 39 points but with 10 seconds to go Dallas is still down three donic trapped that’s what you’re going to try to do Seth Curry he gets the

Ball blocked Max TRS crucial defense on the stretch clutch defense and that’s going to seal it for the Cavs Cavs frustrate donic despite the fact that he had 39 points if the Cavs the win 113 110 you know Nicole right behind donic in the NBA scoring race is that guy Shay

Gild alander there’s a bunch of guys averaging over 30 in the old days like the guy that averaged 30 would win the scoring title now it’s just all over the place as was gildas Alexander 19 in the first half it’s not as good as the Luca 20-point quarter but that’s still pretty

Pretty impressive Thunder lead by nine at the break over the Knicks who much like Luca had a pretty good Christmas Day outing here’s Julius Randall Knicks down two after he would complete the three-point play Randall finished with 25 and the Knicks on the road TI it

Against one of the best in the west gilis Alexander 368 and seven he’s the engine that makes him go but the really underrated player on this team is Jaylen Williams second-year guy to Santa Clara wasn’t a big-time College Prospect and because the thunderfly under the radar nobody’s talking about him he has played

Great great basketball watch out for him down the stretch and then little defense from Chad holgren he’s the guy in the Thunder that’s getting all the attention so Williams can’t get any but holr could be there for Rookie of the Year second year but his first year playing gilis Alexander

Had 17 in the fourth and the NBA’s best young core continues to roll 129 120 as I mentioned they are led by SGA most games with 30 on 55% from the field in the long illustrious history of the Oklahoma City Hunter it’s still impressive don’t say that in some

Circles right not in Seattle if you’re watching we apologize Dale Ellis did make the list there for the sonics but he’s closing in on KD back to the NBA and the Brooklyn Nets are back home just back from a five-game road trip so they rested three star ERS

To play the Bucks Dennis Smith Jr some moves thrown down that dunk over Brook Lopez Nets bench loves that uh the Bucks bench would later have their own thing bucks still up six though at that point bucks only up two make it for Damen Lillard that connection with Giannis then

Giannis forcing the steal there and then they turned some defense into offense courtesy of Giannis and then his brother like I said I think that’s his role just be my pip man DK white rejected Now by Giannis this game was really relatively close until late in the 3D and then

Early in the fourth the Bucks pulled away Bobby Portis Junior 14 points Off the Bench did play 31 minutes and then Giannis basically did it all because he had 32 points 10 rebounds eight assists and then throw in two blocks box win 144 122 not back Joel

Embiid for the Sixers out again he has the strange right ankle he’s missed the last two games bad news for the Sixers against the magic uh Philly hasn’t won without him they’re also averaging 12 points fewer per game good news for the Sixers they got that man there is Maxi

He’s pretty good that finish rather insane uh not done another and one Maxi had 12 points in the second quarter 14 in the first half the sixer had a 5246 lead going into the break now spoiler alert there was more Maxi again in the third Maxi Blowing by The Defenders it’s

All part of a 90 run uh he made the free throw he also had 23 points and six rebounds just like a take it take a step back just enjoy soak it all in Philly up nine going into the fourth and then up 11 trying to close this out why not

Dagger Maxi in the corner with the dagger Sixers get their first win this season without NBI man’s got handles 112 92 the point differential has been an interesting one because the Sixers handed the magic their largest home loss of the season they now have a plus 331 Point differential through 30 games

That’s the second most through 30 games of a season in franchise history the only season they had more was in 6667 want to know what happened that year Zubin tell me they won the championship all right Nicole Mor Hoops of the 30 active NBA franchises there

Are eight that have never won the title the suns are by far the most accomplished they’ve been in the NBA 56 years been in the playoffs 32 times three appearances in the NBA finals and they’ve had some of the best players of their respective eras leading the way

Though at the end no Larry O’Brien That was supposed to change this regular season and Beyond the franchise got much needed new ownership eager to spend and win Durant got a new head coach and a new big three with Devin Booker and Bradley Beal though wo is now reporting

KD is frustrated and wants to see major Improvement immediately why is that well despite all that Talent the Suns enter the night in last place in their division and under 500 to boot Nicole who could have thought taking on the Rockets who have actually exceeded anyone’s expectations they’ve been as

Good as the sons have been bad got to hook it up with Eric Gordon remember this is Gordon’s first game back in Houston after spending more than seven years there and KD got him the rock early this is a great moment kind of a homecoming for Gordon often not talked

About Nicole right because I mean just we just mentioned the big three with Booker and Beal and Durant but he really played a huge part in this game maybe this was a spotlight game we’re going to get you the ball we know what this organization in City’s meant to you 21

In the first half and for once the suns are laughing cuz this is going to be a laugher they’ve lost three in a row Durant that was his 16th dime of the night to Gordon who finish the 27 this is Phoenix’s first road win in over a

Month this is how you know he’s frustrated he’s just happened to be talking about a victory regardless of how many games we play in the season what what our expectations are at the end of the season just getting a win um sometimes you can take that for granted so I’m

Excited about the W tonight I know I’m a score and people look at me I said this last game that I’m just a score that’s the only thing people know me as is just a score but I got intangibles um a good teammate I can do other things on the

Basketball court I think I took one shot and like halfway through the first half you know what I’m saying but I felt like I was into the game cuz I was getting rebounds getting deflections there from my teammates we were all communicating so it’s not always about the buckets I

Get and you see how I came back around later in the game I think everybody’s always thought he was an awesome well-round player that’s imaginary chip on his shoulder whatever it takes Durant became the first player age 35 or older to record 25 15 and 10 boards in a game

In NBA history those 16 assists clearly what he was talking about there in the postgame press Conference
