Recap Roundups
November 18, 2016
Charlotte 100, Atlanta 96
The Charlotte Hornets rallied from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter for a 100-96 victory over the Atlanta on Friday night, snapping the Hawks' six-game winning streak.
Phoenix 116, Indiana 96
Phoenix Suns reserve guard Brandon Knight didn't know why Paul George was resting for the Indiana Pacers Friday night, but he used the All-Star's absence to fire up his young team.
Cleveland 104, Detroit 81
Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue has insisted throughout the Cavaliers' terrific start that they still hadn't played a full game. The defense had been suspect, the shooting erratic. All of that changed Friday.
New Orleans 113, Portland 101
Anthony Davis had been absent for just one game, but Jrue Holiday had been absent for the first 12 games of the season.
Oklahoma City 124, Brooklyn 105
Lately it seems every time Russell Westbrook takes the court he is breaking some record or doing something that's never been seen before. But when his name is mentioned alongside the immortals of the game the Oklahoma City Thunder guard knows he has really accomplished something.
Golden State 104, Boston 88
A loud fire alarm rang through TD Garden minutes after Friday night's game.
Memphis 80, Dallas 64
Chandler Parsons didn't mind the boos. Back in Dallas for the first time since spurning the Mavericks in free agency, Parsons had some fun with his return.
Toronto 113, Denver 111
Toronto came into Friday determined to fix its defensive problems. The Raptors still weren't happy with that end of the floor but they did enough to grind out a tough win.
San Antonio 116, L.A. Lakers 107
Almost to a man, the San Antonio Spurs said ball movement has played the biggest factor during their five-game winning streak.
L.A. Clippers 121, Sacramento 115
It had all the appearances of an easy victory in the first half, then turned out to be anything but that. A potential rout turned into a nail-biter.
