ANOTHER BIG LOSS for the falling Lakers 😮 + Knicks are SURGING in January 📈 NBA RECAP | SportsCenter

I just don’t want you to sleep on the Pacers and the TD Garden is wide awake 36 and 11 that’s the best in the NBA nobody has a better record than the C’s who are on their aame this season there’s Tyrese halberton on the split screen he’s back from injury after

Missing time with the hamstring about Derek white the float game is nice he had 15 points in the quarter Celtics lead by 10 after one Drew holiday blocking OB topping and then on the other end guess what he does hitting the three even with the hand in his face

Doesn’t matter Celtics take a 17-point lead remember that under three minutes left in the second holiday nights dish to Jaylen Brown you know the last time Boston hosted the Pacers they won by 51 it didn’t really quite go that way this time but Tatum doing his best to try to

Make it go that way Celtics up 20 4 seconds left in a half halberton about the he from half court did he call Bank questionable does he need to n probably not he’s a uh 9 minutes to play in the third Pascal cakam driving spinning oh no oh come on these guys are

Pros second effort always works under 530 left in the third remember they were down 17 it’s a three-point game oh I lied it’s tied see yakum had 23 you know you know Boston can shoot from the parking lot they had 17 threes white he had 24 points in this one they lead by

Three after three go to the fourth money time Tatum it’s time for him to take over off the screen got it it’s a 10-point game a minute n left n Smith driving that’s strong he had 26 points and halberton and the rest of the bench are loving that 31 seconds left off the

Inbound Miles Turner blocked by Tatum and that’s your ball game give me all the clutchness that’s all ball as well 12914 Advantage Boston all right so the Celtics have the NBA’s best record entering February for the second consecutive season we all know how last season ended with the loss to the Heat

And Conference Finals well it turns out having the best record at this point hasn’t meant much recently each of the previous four teams in that position didn’t win the NBA title I need you to help me out if this face from LeBron is an emoji what is it is it

Disgust it’s certainly something it also reflects their record because they’re an even 500 24 and 24 on the season Lakers to do the visiting the Hawks no ad but this is a good thing for LeBron because he has 45 career regular season wins against Atlanta second most against any

Franchise this should be easy right no Lakers down eight LeBron not the best game but that looked nice ton of space gets up and that would be the end of the highlights basically for the Lakers less than a minute later Hawks up six dejonte Murray finds Trey young that is three

Make it a nine-point lead 30 seconds left in the half go ahead and add to it more Murray Hawks up 11 at the break they would add to it in the third Hawks now at 15 young three actually I don’t know how old the three was but that was Hawks up

18 Lakers turn it over Hawks up 17 add to it young another three he had 24 points on six of six shooting through three quarters he finished with 26 Hawks up 15 heading into the fourth any thought that the Lakers had that they were going to turn it around in the

Fourth basically died with Jon Murray that’s one mid-range there next Hawks possession it’s not a replay it’s just Murray doing the exact same thing three straight mid-range jumpers that basically ended it for the Lakers so the Lakers were like you know what let’s try something let’s change up

The defense Hawks up 13 at this point it’s only 13 Murray doubles Lebron brings the double team hawk just moving around D Johnson hits the three he had 19 points LeBron not exactly kittens and rainbows after this loss we could On Any Given Night Beat any team in the

NBA and then On Any Given night we get our ass kicked by any team in the NBA that’s just a what’s our record under 500 under 500 one game under 500 yeah what 2425 that’s where we are they also can’t stop anyone from scoring recently because they’ve allowed 130 points in

Now four straight games that is tied for the third longest streak in NBA history and it is the longest streak by any team since the nuggets in November of 1990 they don’t get easier for the Lakers if you look at their schedule because they play in Boston against the Celtics on

Thursday who is the best team in the NBA right now if you look at a current win streak that would be the team in New York the Nicks have won seven straights seven game win streak is their second win streak of five or more in January and that hasn’t happened since 1994 few

Wild cats as in villain NOA kept the Knicks hot Dante Devan chenzo five three-pointers finished the half with 19 points the Knicks led by eight at the break and then you would go to the third quarter because that’s how basketball works and basically you got 60 seconds

Of Jaylen Brunson 7:30 to play in the third that’s when this starts Nick Force to turnovo Dean chenzo to Jaylen Brunson layup in the foul next Nick’s possession stenzo Brunson three the lead is now 12 to finish this minute Nicks up 11 Josh Hart steals defense offense where’s

Brunson there he is and the man’s going to be smiling why because he just had eight points and 60 seconds of this game later in the third Nicks up 17 Brunson to Devan chenzo who gives it right back cuz sharing is carrying that’s a three Nicks up 20 Brunson at 29 Points and

Nine assists Brunson misses the three that’s okay Dean chenzo I gotta he had 27 seven three-pointers through three the Knicks had a very comfortable 20-point lead in the fourth Josh Hart great game first career triple double gets it a d venzo ninth three-pointer 33 points for him that Villanova connection

Led the Knicks to their eighth straight win the Knicks entered this to get to eight straight the longest active streak in the NBA they had 14 wins this month tied for their second most in a calendar month in franchise history the only month where they had more December of

1969 I don’t remember it the Knicks finished 14 and two in January the best record in the NBA the last time they had the outright best record in month March of 1994 they finished that season with the trip to the NBA finals the Knicks won 10 games this month by at least 15

Points in January it was their most in a month in franchise history and tied for the second most in a month in NBA history the only team with more the Celtics in February of 1962
