Recap Roundups
November 23, 2016
Memphis 104, Philadelphia 99
With the outcome in doubt, Philadelphia 76ers rookie center Joel Embiid was held out of the Wednesday night game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
San Antonio 119, Charlotte 114
The San Antonio Spurs have played better on the road than at home so far this season, and they were at their very best again on Wednesday night.
Phoenix 92, Orlando 87
There is something about playing in Orlando that brings out the best in Phoenix center Alex Len.
Cleveland 137, Portland 125
Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue acknowledged Cleveland's first play call every game is a touch for Kevin Love in the post. After Wednesday, Love might start getting the second, third and fourth touches of every game, too.
Atlanta 96, Indiana 85
When Dwight Howard and Paul Millsap rebound with the tenacity they exhibited Wednesday night in Bankers Life Fieldhouse, the Atlanta Hawks are difficult to defeat.
Boston 111, Brooklyn 92
Al Horford is just six games into his stint with his new team, but already teammates and his coach are raving about his consistency and other positive traits.
Detroit 107, Miami 84
Andre Drummond doesn't have a hard time getting motivated to play one of the top centers in the league. His matchup against Miami's Hassan Whiteside on Wednesday was lopsided, and so was the outcome.
Toronto 115, Houston 102
For a half the Toronto Raptors were everything they longed to be defensively, and when things broke down on that end of the court, they had DeMar DeRozan available to deliver the sort of backbreaking offense required to finish the job.
L.A. Clippers 124, Dallas 104
The Los Angeles Clippers got their season-long, six-game road trip off to a rollicking start with a 124-104 demolition of the sinking Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night at American Airlines Center.
Utah 108, Denver 83
If there were any worries about George Hill showing some rust in his return to action, he quickly eliminated those concerns. With Hill back at the helm, the Utah Jazz sizzled on offense from the opening tip.
New Orleans 117, Minnesota 96
No matter how much his teammates plead with him to stop throwing his franchise body into the expensive courtside seats chasing after loose balls, New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis simply won't listen.
Golden State 149, L.A. Lakers 106
The NBA schedule conspired to doom the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night.
Sacramento 116, Oklahoma City 101
It is only two victories in a row, so the Sacramento Kings aren't about to get carried away. But they do possess a pace, a flow and a fluidity to their game that they didn't have before coach Dave Joerger changed his lineup.
