Recap Roundups
December 06, 2017
Cleveland 101, Sacramento 95
With the game and the Cleveland Cavaliers' winning streak on the line, LeBron James told his coach he wanted the ball.
Indiana 98, Chicago 96
Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo played the role of spoiler Wednesday night.
Orlando 110, Atlanta 106
The Orlando Magic earned a much-needed victory Wednesday night, but it may have cost them dearly.
Boston 97, Dallas 90
Missing two of his top six players, Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens had to dig deep into his bench to take players out of mothballs on Wednesday night.
New York 99, Memphis 88
With Kristaps Porzingis' shot off in his return from a two-game absence because of an ankle injury, he turned to his defense to make an impact on Wednesday night for the New York Knicks.
Golden State 101, Charlotte 87
It was originally supposed to be Stephen Curry's night.
Milwaukee 104, Detroit 100
Another night, another close loss for the Detroit Pistons, whose losing streak reached a season-high four games after falling 104-100 to Milwaukee Wednesday night at the Bradley Center.
New Orleans 123, Denver 114
DeMarcus Cousins often feels he is misunderstood, trapped inside an off-Broadway, Shakespearean drama in which he is forced to protest the slings and arrows of outrageously bad acting as another of his opponents hits the deck from what he insists is a phantom collision with his chest or elbows.
San Antonio 117, Miami 105
Much has been made of the performance and consistency of San Antonio's LaMarcus Aldridge through the first 25 games of the NBA season while he has picked up the reins for the team in the absence of Kawhi Leonard, the Spurs' "other" star forward.
Minnesota 113, L.A. Clippers 107
This was not an escape from a barrel and swimming to shore moments before heading over the falls, yet coach Tom Thibideau's unique perspective made you wonder.
