Recap Roundups
November 09, 2016
New York 110, Brooklyn 96
So far, so good for the New York Knicks' new defensive coordinator, Kurt Rambis.
Washington 118, Boston 93
Otto Porter spent the last six years playing home games for two teams at the same arena. The oddity occurred because Washington Wizards and Georgetown, Porter's Alma mater, both use the Verizon Center. Because the former Big East Player of the Year turned in his best NBA performance against struggling Boston Celtics, another familiar note occurred.
Charlotte 104, Utah 98
The Charlotte Hornets are getting excellent play from their second unit this season, and that was the case again Wednesday night at the Spectrum Center.
Minnesota 123, Orlando 107
The Minnesota Timberwolves put their budding Big Three on display Wednesday night, providing a brief glimpse of a potentially very bright future.
Indiana 122, Philadelphia 115
Sometimes it is not easy for a professional athlete to play in his hometown.
Atlanta 115, Chicago 107
Thabo Sefolosha is best known for being the Atlanta Hawks best defender off the bench. On Wednesday, the veteran showed the offensive side of his game is pretty good.
Toronto 112, Oklahoma City 102
The Thunder came into their matchup with the Toronto Raptors carrying a reputation for stingy defense. In the first seven games of the year, Oklahoma City gave up more than 100 points in regulation only once.
Phoenix 107, Detroit 100
Finally, the Phoenix Suns didn't need a last-second shot or overtime to win. But they did need a fourth-quarter rally.
Houston 101, San Antonio 99
For the second consecutive game, it was defense down the stretch that proved the difference for the Houston Rockets.
L.A. Clippers 111, Portland 80
The Los Angeles Clippers are playing as well as any NBA team right now.
Golden State 116, Dallas 95
Another night, another record-setting, 3-point-shooting performance by the Golden State Warriors.
