Recap Roundups
November 03, 2017
Detroit 105, Milwaukee 96
Fouling Andre Drummond used to be a sound defensive tactic against the Detroit Pistons. So far this season, it has been a poison pill.
Chicago 105, Orlando 83
The Chicago Bulls needed one like this to give their rebuilding plan a little momentum.
Philadelphia 121, Indiana 110
Adjusting to a new team is "way harder" than it might appear to be, Philadelphia 76ers guard J.J. Redick said.
Cleveland 130, Washington 122
On the same day John Wall and Bradley Beal reiterated a belief that the Cleveland Cavaliers didn't want any part of the Washington Wizards during last season's playoffs, LeBron James performed like a man unafraid of anything.
Houston 119, Atlanta 104
James Harden made sure that the Houston Rockets did not go a fifth straight season without a victory in Atlanta.
New York 120, Phoenix 107
It took nearly 44 minutes and a 17-point lead, but the Madison Square Garden crowd finally woke up on Friday night.
New Orleans 99, Dallas 94
It's pretty clear what Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins want to do on the court together.
San Antonio 108, Charlotte 101
With two starters still on the shelf over the first nine games of the season, the San Antonio Spurs have had to rely on clutch play from its reserves a lot but Friday's 108-101 win over the Charlotte Hornets took that dependence to the extreme.
Denver 95, Miami 94
Painful last-second losses kept the Denver Nuggets out of the playoffs last season. Faced with another one Friday night, they turned to their veteran, who delivered on his second chance to be the hero.
Toronto 109, Utah 100
DeMar DeRozan scored a season-high 37 points as the Toronto Raptors beat the Utah Jazz 109-100 on Friday night.
Boston 101, Oklahoma City 94
It was easy to forget about Kyrie Irving in the first half of the Boston Celtics' 101-94 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night.
L.A. Lakers 124, Brooklyn 112
Brook Lopez was a cornerstone for the Nets' organization for almost a decade, but in a 124-112 Los Angeles Lakers win at Staples Center on Friday night, he was Brooklyn's biggest problem.
