Everything You Need To Know From Last Night’s Games (11/22/2016)
-The New York Knicks had a huge win at home against the Portland Trailblazers.
-The Trailblazers continue to disappoint as does leader Damian Lillard who has been subpar this season so far.
-Kristaps Porzingis continues to ball out, he had 31 points on the night, making big plays down the stretch once again.
-Carmelo Anthony struggled massively shooting the ball, so much so, the Knicks fans even started booing him at one point when he missed another isolation jumper.
-Melo then redeemed himself with a critical offensive rebound which lead to a dagger three and caused a turnover to seal the game in a huge defensive display for him.
-Brandon Jennings was brilliant, coming off the bench giving the Knicks life and had some dazzling dimes.
-Derrick Rose outplayed Damian Lillard despite the box score lying to us.
-Rose looked explosively amazing throughout, and hit a stepback jumper to seal the victory. It was vintage.
-The Pelicans beat the high flying Hawks on the road in a massive upset victory.
-The Pelicans seem to be getting it together finally and balanced scoring was the key to their win.
-Tim Frazier had 21 points and 14 assists. He’s been impressive for the Pelicans.
-Kent Bazemore held to 1 point in the outing, with Dwight having only 8 as well.
-The Denver Nuggets continue to surprise us with a big win at home against the Bulls.
-Close throughout, the Nuggets held on behind rookie Jamal Murray, who had 24 points from the bench.
-Jimmy Butler had 35, but it wasn’t enough.
-Heavy minutes for him, and the rest of the starters yet again.
-The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Oklahoma City Thunder off a Nick Young accidental clutch three pointer.
-In a crazy sequence with the Lakers down by one, a Brandon Ingram pass was intended for Lou Williams at the top of the key before Swaggy P intercepted the pass and shot it himself with nothing swishing not but net.
-The Thunder were then only down 2 with 5 seconds remaining, but for some reason Russell Westbrook decided to throw up a contested deep three pointer over 3 Lakers players which bricked horribly and the Lakers won the game.
