In these parts of the world, December is usually a month overshadowed by the holidays and Christmas and New Year celebrations. Many sports pause their activities and the adrenaline returns with the start of the next year. However, in the United States there is a tournament that does not stop its march: the NBA. So much so that there are meetings almost every day (the 24th is an exception). In fact, last night there was a marathon session with 14 games, all with little gems to highlight and, most of them, with a scoring average of over 120 points.
The Detroit Pistons and the worst streak in NBA history
The Pistons don’t lift. There seems to be no way to turn the situation around. The panorama is black and the clouds do not disappear. They lost to the irregular Brooklyn Nets by 126-115 and They added their 26th loss in a row to leave them with a balance of 2-27. Thus, they equaled the losing streaks of the Philadelphia 76ers in 2013-2014 and the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010-2011, but their record could continue to increase in the following games (Brooklyn is coming to them, but this time at home).

Doncic triple double
There are no adjectives left to describe one of the best players in the world, given that Luka Doncic accustomed everyone to memorable performances. In the Dallas Mavericks’ 144-119 defeat of the San Antonio Spurs, he contributed 39 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. He played everything! The Texans, without Wembanyama, remain at the bottom of the sea with only four wins so far this season.
