Markelle Fultz 13 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2019)

Brett Brown opened the door of his Orlando-area hotel room and was surprised to find that the bedside lamp was turned on. He was always very careful not to leave lights on where he didn’t need them. As he walked over to turn it off, mentally noting to let the housekeeping management know that they…

Aaron Holiday 17 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2019)

It was really nice of the Pacers to let Aaron Holiday attempt the potential game-winning shot. There’s not really a “go-to” scorer for them, a guy who for sure is going to get the last shot in a close game, all of the people on the roster are basically the same in quality when it…

Brook Lopez 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2019)

Brook Lopez’ emergence into a high-volume three-point-launching trebuchet, raining projectiles with length and precision onto the craniums of his foes, was one of the more fun storylines of last season. But With his shooting percentage from behind the arc taking a fairly dramatic plunge so far this year, I can feel safe in suggesting that…

Ersan Ilyasova 18 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2019)

18 points and 17 rebounds in only 24 minutes for Ersan Ilyasova, a dominating performance which was curtailed by the ineptitude of the Hawks (I bet they were wishing they had a beast like Ilyasova right now) and the unfortunate unwritten rules of sportsmanship which state that good players don’t get to keep playing in…

Allen Crabbe 20 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2019)

I’ve always liked Allen Crabbe. Always. Don’t believe me? Unluckily for you, I have an immaculately-preserved archive of all the stuff I’ve ever written about him, from which I will now give you some choice quotes: “While everyone else is falling all over themselves trying to get a nibble of one of James Harden’s pubes,…

Bam Adebayo 18 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2019)

This statline (18 points, 15 rebounds, and 6 assists) is almost identical to the statline he had last game against the Jazz (18 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists). The only difference is the rebounds, the fact that he had 3 steals and 3 blocks in that one, and that I didn’t make a highlight video…

Duncan Robinson 18 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/27/2019)

We’re so far into the season now that I can probably stop worrying about Dion Waiters/James Johnson coming back and taking all of Duncan Robinson’s minutes. There was a report today that the Heat are going to try and work those two back into the fold, but I don’t really believe that. At this point,…

Devonte’ Graham 15 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (12/27/2019)

Devonte’ Graham, aside from his other stats which you can see in the title, set a new career high tonight in rebounds, with 9. He grabbed the last one with a single second left in the game after an intentionally missed P.J. Washington free throw, but wasn’t able to get up a shot to potentially…

Terry Rozier 26 Points Full Highlights (12/27/2019)

Hornets fans may hate (okay, that’s a strong word, you can replace that with “resent” if you want) Terry Rozier because of his chucky, tunnel-visioned style of play and because of the contract he was awarded in the offseason, but here’s the deal: he’s scoring at a totally acceptable rate and is far from the…
