Recap Roundups
November 17, 2017
Indiana 107, Detroit 100
Midway through the third quarter, the Indiana Pacers were seemingly buried in a 22-point hole to Detroit.
Miami 91, Washington 88
John Wall wished his home arena had been a bit warmer. Then perhaps his injured left knee loosened enough to help his side avoid a sluggish start. Instead, the Washington Wizards couldn't overcome the early heat brought by Miami.
Brooklyn 118, Utah 107
After a four-game losing streak in which their offense produced just 95.3 points per game, the Utah Jazz -- playing without center Rudy Gobert -- beat the Brooklyn Nets 114-106 on Saturday.
Cleveland 118, L.A. Clippers 113
This is not something the Cleveland Cavaliers want to get used to, but they're making the most of their ability to come back in games.
Toronto 107, New York 84
The New York Knicks were the gang that couldn't shoot straight Friday night.
Chicago 123, Charlotte 120
When Lauri Markkanen saw Kemba Walker split a pair of defenders en route to the basket late in the fourth quarter Friday night, the Chicago Bulls rookie realized he had to make a play.
San Antonio 104, Oklahoma City 101
In a game that shouldn't have gone down to the final minute, San Antonio's 104-101 victory over Oklahoma City on Friday was decided by inches.
Minnesota 111, Dallas 87
After limping through a first half devoid of energy and focus, the message delivered by Minnesota Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau in the locker room was rather simple.
Sacramento 86, Portland 82
As rough as the season's opening month has been for the Sacramento Kings, it's been a bit harder for their center Willie Cauley-Stein.
Denver 146, New Orleans 114
New Orleans withstood a hot start by Denver, but it couldn't overcome a scorching second half without its star forward.
Phoenix 122, L.A. Lakers 113
Devin Booker is becoming a household name in the NBA, and Friday night the third-year shooting guard for the Phoenix Suns got comfortable in a hurry inside Staples Center.
