28+7+5, James' sharp breakthrough helped the team stop the losing streak
The Lakers 129-110 defeated the Magic, ending their 5-game losing streak.
The past four consecutive losses have caused the Lakers to fall to the bottom three in the Western Conference, and they are getting further and further away from touching the threshold of playoffs .
This time against the league's longest man lineup Magic , the Lakers played a rare and overwhelming game. There was neither a roller coaster nor a "Lake Three Collapse". They led from beginning to end until the end, sweeping away the haze of the past four consecutive losses.
Although James did not hit any mid-to-long-range shots in this game and made 0 of 7 three-pointers in the game, his breakthrough was still sharp, making 12 of 17 in the paint. Although he did not have the domineering power of his peak period, he only declined compared to himself, and was not worse than others. He was still more than enough to deal with the young players of the Magic team.
James played 31 minutes in the game, making 12 of 24 field goals, 0 of 7 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 28 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block, with a plus-minus of +8.
Unfortunately, James' consecutive record of 30+ points was interrupted in this game, but he extended his streak of 20+ points to 18 games.
15+12+13, Westbrook completed his third triple-double of the season
The Lakers defeated the Magic 129-110.
In the Christmas War , facing the Mavericks , Westbrook played only 24 minutes, but his plus-minus value was as low as -30. This data is really embarrassing.
This time he was a guest in Orlando. Westbrook rebounded. He played 29 minutes and made 6 of 11 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored a triple-double of 15 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists. The plus-minus value was the highest in the game at +18!
It is worth mentioning that this is the third time Westbrook has achieved a triple-double this season, and all of them were completed as a substitute.
At the same time, Westbrook also expanded his NBA historical triple-double record to 197 games!
26+7+13, Harden's overall performance was unstoppable, and the 76ers lost 111-116 to the Wizards, and their 28-game winning streak was ended. In the first three quarters of the game, Harden was too submissive offensively, taking only 9 shots and scoring 16 points.
At the beginning of the last quarter, Harden began to attack hard, and once single-handedly scored 10 points in a row to close the score difference. Unfortunately, Harden fell silent again, blindly feeding the ball to his teammates and refusing to attack himself. Unfortunately, the poor touch of the
role player of the 6ers in this game made every second pass by Harden in vain.
Milton, who performed well during the eight-game winning streak, and Melton combined for only 7 points in this campaign. The team made only 6 of 31 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of less than 20%. It is difficult to win with such a sluggish touch.
Harden played 40 minutes in this game and made 7 of 14 shots, including 2 of 8 three-pointers and 10 of 10 free throws. He scored 26 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. Unfortunately, it was difficult to prevent the team from losing.
The output was full, and the two teams scored 77 points together.
The Celtics beat the Rockets 126-102.
Facing the ham-fed Rockets, Celtics , under the leadership of Tatum and Brown, the team went crazy from beyond the three-point line. They made 20 of 56 three-pointers in the game, of which 56 three-pointers were the second highest in a single game in team history, second only to the 57 against the Knicks on October 20, 2021.
As the two leaders of the team, Tatum and Jaylen Brown contributed 31 three-point shots and hit 12 of them. The Rockets also completely lost the motivation to lift off in the Celtics' devastating three-point rain.
Tatum played 34 minutes in this game and made 12 of 25 shots, including 6 of 16 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 38 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, with a plus-minus of +12.
Brown played 34 minutes and made 14 of 26 shots, including 6 of 15 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 39 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 3 steals, with a plus-minus of +21.
The Celtics continued their undefeated streak in this campaign. When Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined to score 70+ games, the Celtics had 9 wins and 0 losses.
It is worth mentioning that this is the sixth time this season that two top players have scored 30+ points together before the New Year, tying the second most in the past 50 seasons. In history, only Lou Hudson and "Pistol" Maravich in the 1973-74 season have scored 30+ points together seven times before the New Year.
At the same time, this game is also the 18th time in their careers that the two have scored 30+ points together, ranking third in history, second only to OK's 33 times and Dewey's 34 times.
In addition, the two teams also became the second pair in the history of the Celtics to score 38+ points in the past 40 years. The first pair was Robert Parish (48 points) and Larry Bird (38 points) in 1985.
28+9, Hilder hit 6 three-pointers and hit the Eagles
The Pacers 129-114 defeated the Eagles.
In the last game, the Pacers lost to the remnant Pelicans by 20 points, and they were somewhat embarrassed.
In this game against the Hawks, the Pacers took the suffocation accumulated in their chests from the last game and poured it out on the Hawks.
Especially Hield was the most ruthless. He had a blast throughout the game. He played 29 minutes and made 11 of 16 shots, including 6 of 7 three-pointers. He had no free throws and efficiently scored 28 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists. He made no mistakes and had a plus-minus of +11.
23+16, Zubac dominated the basket
Clippers 124-113 defeated Raptors .
Facing all the forward players of the Raptors , Zubac has an absolute advantage in both height and weight. He can grab secondary rebounds in the penalty area and attack the basket at will. The Raptors have no way to deal with him.
In this game, Zubac became the team's star. He played 31 minutes and made 7 of 13 field goals and 9 of 12 free throws. He scored a team-high 23 points and a game-high 16 rebounds (10 offensive rebounds). He also had 1 assist and 1 block. The plus-minus value was also the game-high +15.
36+9+5, Siakam was unable to defeat the four-handed
with two fists. The Raptors lost to the Clippers 113-124.
Facing the former boss Leonard who once led him to win the championship, Siakam worked hard to prove himself to him.
Although Siakam scored the only 30+ in the game in the end, facing the Clippers , four people scored 20+ at the same time, and captain Leonard's performance of 15+7+8 coordinated the overall situation. Although Siakam has the courage to stand in the way, he does not have the strength to open the door.
Siakam played 40 minutes in this campaign and made 13 of 24 field goals, including 0 of 4 three-pointers and 10 of 15 free throws. He scored 36 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Unfortunately, it was all in vain.
28+6+8, Alexander played both offense and defense to help the team win
Thunder 130-114 defeated Spurs .
Facing the Spurs, who also had no desire for victory, the Thunder successfully took away the game with a fierce offensive in the final quarter.
As the leader of the team, Alexander performed very comprehensively and efficiently in this game. He played 33 minutes and made 9 of 14 field goals and 10 of 11 free throws. He scored a game-high 28 points, plus 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks, with a plus-minus of +11.
It is worth mentioning that 4 blocks tied Alexander's personal single-game record.
This season, everyone is marveling at Alexander's offensive ability, which averages more than 30 points per game, but ignores his contribution on the defensive end.
So far this season, Alexander leads the guard blocks per game and total lists with 1.1 blocks per game and 34 total blocks.
In addition, Alexander has become the third defender since 1990 to average at least 30 points, 1 steal and 1 block per game. The first two are Jordan and Wade .
29+18+4, Randall’s big double-double was the savior
. The Knicks lost to the Mavericks 121-126 in overtime.
With Brunson missing due to injury and Barrett exiting early, Randall led the team alone to help the team maintain the lead.
Twenty-six seconds before the end, the Knicks still held a 9-point lead. However, they were dragged into overtime by the Mavericks' various magical performances. In overtime, facing the already red-eyed Doncic, the Knicks could no longer resist.
Although it failed to end the team's losing streak, Randall's outstanding performance in this game cannot be overshadowed.
Randall played 44 minutes in the game and made 11 of 23 shots, including 5 of 11 three-pointers and 2 of 4 free throws. He scored 29 points, 18 rebounds and 4 assists, a double-double with a plus-minus of +2. Unfortunately, he failed to save the game.

As others began to enter the game, the Nuggets succeeded in overtaking the game in the final quarter and continued to secure their position as the leader in the Western Conference.
In this game Michael Porter Jr. played 29 minutes and made 12 of 20 shots, including 5 of 9 three-pointers and 1 of 2 free throws. He contributed a game-high 30 points plus 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, with a plus-minus of +14.
20+9+11, Jokic's style of play came from the back
and the Nuggets reversed the Kings 113-106 in the away game.
In this game, the Kings' core center Sabonis was absent due to injury. He lost a capable opponent. Jokic was completely unable to exert his energy on the offensive end throughout the first half, and started a Buddhist style of play.
Jokic only took two shots in the first two quarters, contributing 2 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. The team was also behind in the score.
In order to continue the winning streak, Jokic began to play seriously in the second half. He had an absolute advantage in the paint and was unstoppable.

In the second quarter of the game, Embiid remained efficient offensively, scoring 10 points on 4 of 6 shots. However, the team's outside touch was delayed, allowing the opponent to further open the point difference to double digits.
changed sides and fought again. In the third quarter, Embiid continued to cause damage inside, shooting 2 of 6 from the field and 6 of 6 from the free throw line to score another 10 points, helping the team narrow the point difference to single digits.
In the last quarter of the game, under the leadership of the "Dengdi" combination, the team continued to narrow the score and once saw hope of a reversal. Unfortunately, at the last moment, Embiid was exhausted and still chose to break into the penalty area with the ball from the outside. Little did he know that he had fallen into the opponent's trap. Either he was unstable with the ball and lost the ball or the ball was cut. Two consecutive mistakes also directly ruined the chance of a comeback.
Although the team's 8-game winning streak was interrupted, emperor 's performance in this game was absolutely dominant.
Embiid played 35 minutes in the game and made 17 of 32 shots, including 1 of 5 three-pointers and 13 of 14 free throws. He scored 48 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 3 blocks, with a plus-minus of +8.
It is worth mentioning that this is Embiid's sixth 40-plus time this season and the 32nd time in his career, surpassing Chamberlain and rising to second place in team history, second only to Iverson 's 76 times.

Dongcic's epic triple-double shocked Gu Shuojin and was elected as the best of the day.

In the fourth quarter of the game, seeing the team lagging behind by a huge margin, Doncic decisively entered personal offensive mode, scoring 18 points and 9 rebounds on 8 of 11 shots in a single quarter. He also deliberately missed a free throw and grabbed an offensive rebound to complete the equalizing shot at the last second, bringing the team back from the brink of death.

On the eve of the Christmas game, the Mavericks had just erected a statue symbolizing honor for Nowitzki . After watching Doncic's amazing performance in this game, NBA star Kevin Garnett couldn't help but feel He sighed: "This will be another statue in Dallas ."

6. Doncic is the third player in NBA history to score at least 50 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists in a single game. Only Wilt Chamberlain (1963, 1968) and Elgin Baylor (1961) have done this.
7, Doncic is the seventh player in NBA history to score 50+ triple-doubles in a single game. The first six are Harden (5 times), Westbrook (3 times), Elgin Baylor (2 times), Chamberlain (2 times), Rich Galen (1 time), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1 time).
