The Houston Rockets cruised to a decisive 135-112 victory over the Washington Wizards in another thrilling NBA matchup. Turkish talent Alperen Şengün delivered an impressive double-double performance, helping his team maintain a strong presence both offensively and defensively. The young center spent nearly 28 minutes on court, amassing 16 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists while displaying remarkable versatility and control of the paint.
Despite strong contributions from rookie Alex Sarr, who posted 25 points and 11 rebounds, the Wizards couldn’t keep pace with the Rockets’ fast tempo and consistent scoring threats. Kevin Durant also added 23 points for Houston, ensuring a commanding team performance that thrilled fans.
Over in Los Angeles, reigning MVP Nikola Jokic powered the Denver Nuggets past the Los Angeles Clippers with a dominant 130-116 road victory. Jokic’s 55-point explosion tied the league’s single-game scoring record for this season, previously set by Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. His unmatched efficiency and leadership extended Denver’s impressive six-game winning streak.
On the Clippers’ side, James Harden and Jordan Miller made noteworthy efforts with 23 and 22 points respectively, but the team struggled to contain Jokic’s historic performance.
The Detroit Pistons maintained their winning ways, defeating the visiting Chicago Bulls 124-113. Center Paul Reed led the charge with a fantastic 28-point and 13-rebound double-double, while sharpshooter Duncan Robinson added 23 points, keeping Detroit’s momentum intact. The Pistons, who had previously struggled early in the season, seem to have rediscovered their rhythm and resilience.
For the Bulls, Matas Buzelis tallied 21 points and Kevin Huerter chipped in 20, but their defensive lapses in crucial moments cost them a potential comeback late in the fourth quarter.
In San Antonio, Stephen Curry once again proved why he’s one of the most dangerous scorers in NBA history. With a spectacular 46-point outing, he led the Golden State Warriors to a 125-120 win against the San Antonio Spurs. Curry’s dazzling shot-making and clutch performance overshadowed the Spurs’ double triple-double feats.
San Antonio’s rising star Victor Wembanyama delivered an extraordinary stat line with 31 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Stephon Castle added 23 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists of his own. Still, their remarkable efforts fell just short as the veteran Warriors displayed their trademark resilience down the stretch. Jimmy Butler contributed 28 points to round out Golden State’s strong performance on the road.
