17 years later, LeBron is back
– November 26, 2005, LeBron James came out a game with 38 points and 6 award-winning baskets against Minnesota. Seventeen years later, to the day, at almost 38 years old, the King is still capable of similar statistical lines. It was just San Antonio, a coasting team, but LeBron’s performance still shines a light on his exceptional longevity.
Sans Anthony Davis, left to rest to treat a pain in the calf, the Lakers disposed of the Spurs in a match that was a little too champagne for it to be decreed that it was reassuring for them. Nevertheless, the 39 points and 11 rebounds, with 7 3-point baskets (a personal record equaled in the NBA) of the “Chosen One” to bring Los Angeles back to a 7-11 record are to be welcomed and allowed, in part, to save Californians a disappointment.
Supported in particular by Dennis Schroeder (21 points, 6 passes), Lonnie Walker (19 pts) and a sharp bench (49 pts to four), LeBron James clearly did not show his age last night. This combination with Russell Westbrook in the first half is a good example.

Ayton saves the Suns, first in the West
– There are nights when Deandre Ayton Fully justifies the $133 million offered to him by the Suns. The Phoenix pivot was monumental in helping his team win a very tight game against the Jazz tonight. The Bahamian compiled 29 points and 21 rebounds, but also had an interception in the money time to slow down the return of Utah and a big rebound to deprive the Jazzmen of a last possession.
Led by four points at the start of the 4th quarter by a still amazing Jazz team despite a plummeting form for 9 games (2-7), Phoenix took control of the game by relying on strength and consistency. of Ayton, while Devin Booker was in a complicated evening at the level of the address (27 pts at 8/27).
Phoenix is the leader of the Western Conference thanks to this fourth consecutive victory.
Deandre Ayton dropped a MASSIVE double-double in the @Suns win!

It finally clicks in Houston!
– It’s not every day that the young talents of the Rockets join forces simultaneously. Facing OKC, the chemistry was perfect between Alperen Sengun, Jalen Green et Jabari Smith Jr, who all three showed the extent of their talent against OKC without stepping on each other’s toes. Houston dominated Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Thunder (32 pts) with:
- 21 points, 18 rebounds and 7 assists for Alperen Sengun
- 28 points, 9 assists (NBA personal best) for Jalen Green
- 15 points, 13 rebounds for Jabari Smith, who is only the third player 19 or younger in NBA history to have at least three double-doubles in his first 18 games.
Dallas is in the rough
– The Mavs continue to be problematically inconsistent and suffered their third straight loss on the Toronto floor tonight. Luka Doncic (24 pts) could not prevent his team from losing in Ontario, where AND Anunoby he continues to show all his progress in scoring. The Raptors winger scored 12 of his 26 points in the 4th quarter, helped by Fred VanVleet (26 pts) and Chris Boucherexcellent off the bench (22 points, 13 rebounds).
Dallas is 1-6 away from home heading into Milwaukee on Sunday…
