Recap Roundups
January 15, 2016
Washington 118, Indiana 104
When guards John Wall and Bradley Beal are at or near the top of their game, so are the Washington Wizards.
Oklahoma City 113, Minnesota 93
Minnesota coach Sam Mitchell wants his team to learn every night they take the floor. Even in defeat, he feels his young, talented players can come away with something if they want to one day be great.
Boston 117, Phoenix 103
The TD Garden crowd roared after what looked like a meaningless rebound in the fourth quarter of the Boston Celtics' 117-103 rout of the Phoenix Suns on Friday night.
Portland 116, Brooklyn 104
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard isn't trying to make a statement about finally earning an NBA All-Star Game selection.
Dallas 83, Chicago 77
The Chicago Bulls and Dallas Mavericks showed signs Friday of two teams whose schedules had been busy as of late.
New Orleans 109, Charlotte 107
In many ways, New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis gets paid for stepping up in the game's final 60 seconds. On Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets, Davis did more than step up. He soared.
Milwaukee 108, Atlanta 101
It's been a bit of a roller coaster for Michael Carter-Williams, who is coming up on the one-year anniversary of his trade from Phoenix to Milwaukee.
Miami 98, Denver 95
Hassan Whiteside got on the bus to the arena feeling better than he has in a long time. He then showed it with a monster performance.
Cleveland 91, Houston 77
With their season-long, six-game road trip mercifully coming to an end on Friday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers recognized the need for one determined push through the finish line, and they proved willing to deliver whatever effort was required to cap their long jaunt with vigor.
