NBA Game Recaps

Here’s a sharper look at what actually flipped the results — from key runs to player availability and late-game execution that mattered for sides and totals.

Knicks vs Wizards Recap: Knicks win 132-101

New York cruised to its seventh straight win, overwhelming Washington behind 23 from Mikal Bridges and 21 from Jalen Brunson. The Knicks shot 57% from the field and had seven players in double figures. Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby each added 19 points, and Landry Shamet stayed hot from deep with four made 3s. The Knicks led by double digits most of the way and now own 11 straight wins over the Wizards.

Will Riley paced the Wizards with 17 off the bench, while Carrington added 14 and Khris Middleton finished with 12. Washington continues to struggle defensively, giving up another 130+ game as their roster rotation stays unsettled.

Celtics vs Mavericks Recap: Celtics win 110-100

Jaylen Brown led the way with 33 points and 11 boards, and Boston leaned on its bench to help seal a road win in Dallas. Payton Pritchard dropped 26 off the bench and was perfect from three, while Luka Garza added 16 points with four treys. Boston out-executed late and held Dallas to just 19 fourth-quarter points.

Cooper Flagg scored 36 for the Mavericks — his third straight 30+ game — but it wasn’t enough. No other Mavs player topped 13 points, and it showed in a fifth straight loss.

Pistons vs Nuggets Recap: Pistons win 124-121

Cade Cunningham poured in 29 points with 10 assists as the Pistons took down the Nuggets in a game they never trailed. Jalen Duren added 19 and 13, and Duncan Robinson scored 20 while hitting key shots late. Detroit followed up its 53-point win over Brooklyn with another confidence-builder — this time against a contender.

Denver got 32 from Jamal Murray and 24 from Jokic, but their defense never locked in. Detroit shot 54.5% from the field and out-rebounded the Nuggets 44-38.

Jazz vs Pacers Recap: Jazz win 131-122

Lauri Markkanen scored 27, Brice Sensabaugh added 20, and Isaiah Collier dropped 17 points with a career-high 22 assists as Utah broke its six-game losing streak. The Jazz were sharp offensively, shooting nearly 57% from the floor and knocking down 13 threes. Every Jazz player hit double figures — just seven suited up — in a total team effort.

The Pacers, missing several key players, leaned on Jarace Walker and Quenton Jackson with 24 each. Indiana was on the second night of a back-to-back and played without five rotation guys, including Siakam and Mathurin.

Lakers vs Nets Recap: Lakers win 125-109

LeBron James scored 25 and threw down two early dunks to set the tone in Brooklyn. Luka Doncic added 24 in just 29 minutes, and the Lakers built a 20-point lead before halftime. They finished their eight-game road trip with a statement win, controlling pace and getting easy transition looks.

Michael Porter Jr. led the Nets with 21 points and 10 boards, but went 0-for-9 from three. Brooklyn continues to struggle on both ends, especially with their defensive rotations.

Bucks vs Bulls Recap: Bucks win 131-115

Kyle Kuzma exploded for 31 points and 10 rebounds, and Ryan Rollins had 21 and 10 assists as Milwaukee snapped its five-game losing streak. The Bucks looked sharp from the start, shooting 55% from the field and moving the ball cleanly. Six players scored at least 15 points, including 17 from AJ Green and 15 each from Turner, Nance, and Trent Jr.

Chicago was led by Matas Buzelis with 22, and Coby White added 21 and 10 rebounds, but the defense never showed up. The Bulls have now lost five of six and gave up 70+ first-half points again.

Hawks vs Heat Recap: Hawks win 127-115

Jalen Johnson recorded a monster triple-double — 29 points, 11 boards, 11 assists — and Atlanta broke a two-game losing streak with a big road win. CJ McCollum chipped in 26 off the bench, and the Hawks shot 52% from the field overall. They outscored Miami 38-24 in the third to take control.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. led the Heat with 21, but Miami struggled without Wiggins, Powell, and Herro. It’s the second straight game the Heat have failed to defend the arc, giving up 17 made threes.

Thunder vs Magic Recap: Thunder win 128-92

Isaiah Hartenstein posted his first career triple-double — 12 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists — as OKC blew out Orlando at home. He completed it early in the fourth on an assist to Isaiah Joe, who tied a season-high with 22 off the bench. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 20, while Holmgren (16 and 10) and Dort (18) filled out a balanced box score.

Orlando was flat on both ends. Jalen Suggs scored 20, but the Magic were outscored by 20 in the paint and never recovered from a 15-point first quarter.
