Monday’s Top Storylines 🔊🏀🔊
- Detroit takes down the Lakers on the road. With the win, the Pistons improve to 13-17 on the season. They move into a tie with the Bulls for the 9th in the eastern conference. Cade Cunningham guided Detroit with 20 points and 10 assists. LeBron James missed a game-tying shot as the buzzer expired.
- Indiana knocks off Golden State, winning their 5th in a row. The Pacers are back to .500 with tonight’s win. All starters finished in double figures scoring for Indiana, seven players overall. They collectively held Stephen Curry to just 10 points on 2-13 shooting. The Warriors have now lost 10 of their last 13 games.
- Tyrese Maxey takes over in crunch time. Philadelphia needed answers as San Antonio pulled ahead late in the fourth quarter, and Maxey provided them. With no Joel Embiid due to a 2nd quarter ejection, Maxey scored six points in the final minute to stave off the Spurs.
- Orlando stuns Tatum-less Celtics. Without Paolo Banchero or either Wagner brother, the Magic pulled off a stunning upset. Unlikely heroes Trevelin Queen and Tristan da Silva both stepped up tonight – Queen starting for the first time in his four-year career. Jamahl Mosley’s squad maintains a grip on the fourh spot in the eastern conference.
