Pistons 99 (4-4), Sixers 109 (6-4)
Joel Embiid is just picking on Andre Drummond now. After completely outplaying Drummond two weeks ago, Embiid one-upped his previous performance.
The Process finished with 39 points and 17 boards while holding Drummond to just 8 points and 9 rebounds.
After handing the Pistons their fourth straight loss, JoJo continued to troll Drummond on social media.

Cavs 94 (1-8), Hornets 126 (5-5)
Cleveland kept it competitive in the first half but completely fell apart in the second half.
The Cavs were outscored by a combined 25 points in the third and fourth quarters, and get this, their leading scorer (JR Smith) had just 14 points. Not good.
Celtics 101 (6-3), Pacers 102 (7-3)
Just when it seemed like the Celtics had sealed the deal, Victor Oladipo came through with a super-clutch game-winner.
Kyrie Irving drained a cold-blooded three to give Boston a 4-point lead with just 37 seconds left.
A couple possessions later, Oladipo grabbed the rebound off an Irving miss, dribbled the length of the court and pulled up for a dagger three. The ball didn’t even touch the net. Now that’s feathery.

Rockets 96 (3-5), Bulls 88 (2-8)
James Harden returned after a three-game absence, but Houston isn’t exactly looking like a championship-contending team yet.
If it weren’t for a 7-point third quarter by the Bulls, this game would have been a lot closer. Houston’s lead was just 5 with 4 minutes left to play, but the Rockets managed to close out the game.
Harden had 25 points, 7 dimes and 8 TOs, handing the Bulls their fourth loss in a row.
Pelicans 95 (4-5), Spurs 109 (6-2)
San Antonio built a 19-point halftime lead and never looked back. LaMarcus Aldridge had 22, 12 and 6 to lead the Spurs.
After starting the season 4-0, New Orleans has now lost five straight.
Jazz 88 (4-5), Nuggets 103 (8-1)
Down five heading into the fourth quarter, Denver torched the Jazz in the final frame. The Nuggets outscored Utah 35-15 to run away with the victory.
Despite only scoring 7 points (on 9 shots), Nikola Jokic impacted the game with 16 dimes and 10 boards.

Lakers 114 (4-5), Blazers 110 (6-3)
Portland’s 16-game win streak against the Lakers is now over. The Lakers had a 20-point lead with just over 8 minutes remaining, which quickly shrunk to just 5.
Thanks to LeBron James (28 points, 7 dimes) and Rajon Rondo (17, 10, 6 dimes), the Lakers were able to hold off the Blazer rally and come away with the much-needed W.
