The NBA served up a light slate last night, just in time for the holidays—a perfect pre-feast appetizer. Let’s dive into the NBA recap!

Last Night’s NBA Results

  • Kings – Pacers: 95-122 (stats)
  • Raptors – Rockets: 110-114 (stats)
  • Pelicans – Nuggets: 129-132 OT (stats)

Key Takeaways

  • The Kings looked competitive for three quarters but completely collapsed against the Pacers. It was a tough sight as they seemed to throw in the towel. Not pretty.
  • The Rockets are finding their rhythm with a second consecutive win, battling it out against the Raptors who fought hard until the very end.
  • The Nuggets were sluggish on defense and lacked energy. We expected the Pelicans, who led for most of the game, to come out on top. But in a dramatic ending, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray turned up when it mattered, snatching the win in overtime.
  • Bad luck continues for Louisiana, as Trey Murphy III twisted his ankle and couldn’t finish the game…
  • Off the court, Alex Caruso has locked in a lucrative four-year contract worth $81 million with the Thunder. He’s earned every cent.
  • Landry Shamet has signed with the Knicks.
  • Moritz Wagner’s season is abruptly over—talk about an injury curse in the Southeast.
