As D.J. Augustin and Michael Carter-Williams watched helplessly from the bench, wearing dapper suits and also wearing fake smiles on their faces, Wes Iwundu went out and led his team to a victory over the much-vaunted, LeBron-led “superteam” of the Lakers. His defense, his bucket-getting ability, his foul-drawing ability (which verged an Hardenesque), and his…

Troy Daniels 17 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Troy Daniels cemented his position in the Lakers’ “big three” (accompanied by LeBron James and Quinn Cook) with this sizzling seventeen-point shooting performance off the bench (there’s no rule that says that players who are part of a “big three” can’t come off the bench). Daniels has been quiet this season, rarely getting large amounts…
Read MoreQuinn Cook 22 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
When LeBron James said he was going to create “the best big three f***ing ever” with Khem Birch and Luke Babbitt, the league quaked. Such a star-studded trio would immediately usher in a new Lakers dynasty. Rival GMs all around the league immediately drew up their tanking plans. Thankfully for fans of parity everywhere, that…
Read MoreKendrick Nunn 33 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Kendrick Nunn may not win the ROTY of the Year Award, but that’s not the only award the NBA has to offer. There are plenty of other trophies out there that could be his. MVP? If he starts chucking like we all know he wants to, I can see it. Finals MVP? That’s even more…
Read MoreMichael Porter Jr. 19 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
It’s going to be a while before we get to see the Michael Porter Jr. we want to see. The Nuggets have plans. They have aspirations. They want to win games, and they won tons of games without him last year. A young stud scorer is a luxury they have, but don’t exactly need. They…
Read MoreMarkelle Fultz Triple Double 21 Pts/11 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
Not included in the title of the video because I wanted to keep it legible: “/1 Cramp”. That’s what happens when you play more minutes than you ever have in your entire career, I guess. You go up for one last rebound or shot attempt, and your leg says “ENOUGH OF THIS” and just starts…
Read MoreSviatoslav Mykhailiuk Career High 21 Points/5 Assists/1 60-Footer Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
The full list of players who got a career-high in points tonight for the Pistons: Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk: 21 points Sekou Doumbouya: 24 points Tony Snell: 6 points* Thon Maker: 0 points* *career-high not verified but (safely) assumed With that many career nights from that many role-players, it’s no wonder that the Pistons came into Boston,…
Read MoreSekou Doumbouya Career High 24 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2020)
I asked this before and I didn’t get an answer, so I’ll ask again: where the heck was Sekou Doumbouya for the first half of the season? I mean, I know where he was: he was in Dwane Casey’s doghouse, which isn’t just a metaphorical or allegorical doghouse, but a real human-sized doghouse that is…
