Recap Roundups
November 27, 2017
Indiana 121, Orlando 109
Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo had no clue he sank his first 11 shots on Monday night.
Cleveland 113, Philadelphia 91
Philadelphia 76ers rookie sensation Ben Simmons said he regards Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James as a "big brother."
Detroit 118, Boston 108
A big man can't do much more than Andre Drummond did for the Detroit Pistons on Monday night.
Portland 103, New York 91
The New York Knicks are quickly discovering the importance of Enes Kanter to their young squad.
Houston 117, Brooklyn 103
Houston coach Mike D'Antoni mildly rebuffed the notion that his team needs to be tested against superior opposition, but his resignation over the uneven performance the Rockets delivered on Monday night spoke to the reality that a stiff challenge might be welcome.
San Antonio 115, Dallas 108
It's a fact that the NBA is becoming a league of smaller, quicker players, but there's still room for the big guys, especially when they can move and shoot from the perimeter, play defense and use their length to get in the passing lanes.
Sacramento 110, Golden State 106
Bad shots. Unable to get defensive stops. Crazy things like fouling on 3-point attempts and allowing offensive rebounds on missed free throws.
L.A. Clippers 120, L.A. Lakers 115
The Clippers' tight control of Los Angeles basketball continued Monday, yet nobody wearing the red, white and blue was in a celebratory mood.
