Caris LeVert and Joe Harris toppled Washington’s wizardry, while Lillard had a monumental game despite falling to Brown and Tatum’s Celtics. Later on, Boban slammed down a disrespectful jam in stride over Rubio, and the Greek Freak vaulted himself into NBA history, but came up short as the Rockets put together another legendary comeback.
Enjoy the best NBA highlights from Sunday all in one place:
Houston, we have lift off. The backcourt of Harden and Westbrook diced up the Bucks in a hard-fought slugfest. Despite the Rockets being out boarded by 29 and having a minuscule 20 points in the paint, their excellent guard-play was enough to upset Milwaukee.

Last night’s intense game versus the Rockets marked the 15th time Giannis posted 30-points, 15-rebounds, and 5-assists in a game this season. This places him in the company of NBA royalty as Kareem Abdul-Jabaar is the only other player to accomplish the feat.

Jayson Tatum revisited his peak form in Sunday’s showcase scoring an electric 34 points by game’s end. His running mate Jaylen Brown joined the fun and collected 30 points in notable fashion, with 16 coming in the 4th quarter when they needed it most, considering Kemba’s minutes restriction. This one-two punch combo had the Trail Blazers off balance from the get-go and was enough to fend off Portland’s valiant comeback effort.

Joe Harris had an extraordinary impact on yesterday’s action, mounting a lead for the Nets with 6-7 made threes. Caris LeVert was even more volatile with a vicious “go out and get it” mindset capitalizing on the lackluster Wizards defense.

On Sunday, Logo Lillard entered a category of his own becoming the first Trail Blazer to post multiple 30+ point, 15+ assist games in a season. On pace with Dame, Jusuf Nurkic went to work and etched a 30-point performance himself (12-20 FG).

A tip of the cap is in order for juggernaut Brook Lopez. He absolutely bullied the Rockets’ small ball lineup and kept his team relevant in the fourth by finishing around the rim with brute force.

In an official NBA matchup, the Memphis Grizzlies took it back to street ball with some beautifully orchestrated ally-oops. When Ja Morant is the conductor behind the lobs his teammate’s jobs become much easier.

The 7-foot-4 giant of a man, Boban, showed off his shear length in a slight size mismatch with an effortless flush over 6-foot-4 Ricky Rubio who never stood a chance.

The Magic have dominated both of their unworthy opponents in Orlando so far, and benefitted on Sunday from this slick pass by DJ Augustin for an easy 3.
