Recap Roundups
December 13, 2017
Oklahoma City 100, Indiana 95
On a night when Oklahoma City's big three of Paul George, Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook all struggled from the field, the Thunder's Steven Adams was on target.
L.A. Clippers 106, Orlando 95
The Los Angeles Clippers have started winning the old fashioned way.
Washington 93, Memphis 87
The return of John Wall did not immediately turn the Washington Wizards aesthetically, but they had enough to defeat the struggling Memphis Grizzlies.
Boston 124, Denver 118
Brad Stevens was relieved his Boston Celtics shot a season-high 59.5 percent from the floor at TD Garden on Wednesday night.
Portland 102, Miami 95
The Miami Heat bench players, particularly Udonis Haslem, playfully acted as if they had fainted while watching a strong first-half shooting effort by teammate Wayne Ellington.
Chicago 103, Utah 100
From the instant Nikola Mirotic rejoined the Chicago Bulls lineup last week, he knew he had to add a spark of positive energy.
New Orleans 115, Milwaukee 108
DeMarcus Cousins plays basketball in bold, broad strokes, perhaps because subtlety in the NBA usually is reserved for chumps.
Toronto 115, Phoenix 109
The Phoenix Suns' reserves kept the game interesting, but the Toronto Raptors' starting lineup showcased too much firepower.
Houston 108, Charlotte 96
Earlier in the week, Houston Rockets guard James Harden insisted that backcourt mate Chris Paul assert himself offensively. On Wednesday night, Paul required no such prodding.
