MLG Highlights/YouTube
February 9th, 2021 was highlighted by Steph Curry’s circus shot that somehow went in during a Warriors dub over the Spurs. Donovan Mitchell helped Utah extend their win streak to five games, totaling a 16-1 record over their last 17 outings while the Pistons ended their four-game losing streak with a win over the KD-less Nets thanks to Jerami Grant‘s 32 points. Pelicans are now on a season-high four-game winning streak of their own after a blowout victory vs. Houston and Jimmy Butler spoiled Derrick Rose‘s debut with the Knicks. Some more moves in MLB’s offseason like Jake McGee signing w/ SF and Adam Duvall heading to MIA also took place.
