Recap Roundups
December 22, 2017
Detroit 104, New York 101
For a good portion of the second half, the Detroit Pistons struggled to make any defensive stops. With the game on the line, Pistons guard Reggie Bullock made three pivotal plays to get his team a hard-fought victory.
New Orleans 111, Orlando 97
The New Orleans Pelicans today are not the team center DeMarcus Cousins expects them to be a month from now.
Brooklyn 119, Washington 84
Which came first for the Brooklyn Nets Friday night? Defensive intensity or an aggressive, attack-the-rim offensive mindset?
Miami 113, Dallas 101
With another Miami starter leaving the game prematurely because of an injury, Wayne Ellington realized he needed to increase his contributions.
L.A. Clippers 128, Houston 118

For a second straight game, the Milwaukee Bucks proved it is, in fact, better to be lucky than good.

Early in the second quarter, Russell Westbrook yelled from the bench.
