Kevin Durant Isn’t Slowing Down in Houston

Kevin Durant is proving he still has plenty left in the tank — and the Rockets are loving every second of it. In Houston’s 120-96 win over the Nets, the 37-year-old dropped 22 points and 11 assists, becoming the oldest player in franchise history to post 20+ points and 10+ dimes.

Durant continues to look like the missing piece Houston needed after last season’s first-round exit. He’s the Rockets’ go-to scorer, even with Alperen Şengün having a career year, and his efficiency has been elite all season.

Aging? Not KD. If anything, he’s elevating Houston right into the contender conversation.

Knicks Blow Late Leads, Fall 134-132 to Spurs in Wild Finish

The Knicks closed out 2025 in painful fashion, coughing up multiple double-digit leads in a frustrating 134-132 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday night at Frost Bank Center.

New York caught fire early, dropping a season-high 45 points in the first quarter and knocking down 22 threes overall. Jalen Brunson led the way with 29 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 20 and the Knicks entered the fourth quarter with a perfect 19-0 record when leading after three.
That record didn’t last.

Victor Wembanyama dominated with 31 points through three quarters before exiting early in the fourth after an awkward knee landing. Instead of folding, San Antonio surged behind Julian Champagnie, who erupted for a career-high 36 points and a franchise-record 11 threes.

Defensive breakdowns and late fouls doomed New York, as the Spurs poured in 41 fourth-quarter points. Brunson’s buzzer-beating three came too late, sealing a brutal collapse to end the year.

A tough way to ring in 2026 for the Knicks.

BREAKING: Huge blow for the Bulls.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Josh Giddey will miss at least a few weeks with a left hamstring strain.

This is a massive loss for Chicago. Giddey was having a career year, averaging 19.2 PPG, 9.0 APG, and 8.9 RPG. Without their floor general, the Bulls (15-17) have to fight to keep their Play-In spot in a crowded Eastern Conference.

The stats to watch:

📉 Chicago is 0-2 without Giddey this season.

📉 He was hitting career highs in points, boards, assists, and 3PT%.

Can the Bulls stay afloat in the East without him, or is this season about to slip away?

Scary Night for Nuggets as Jokić Injury Looms in Blowout Loss

The Denver Nuggets suffered a major scare Monday night as Nikola Jokić went down with an apparent left knee injury late in the first half against the Miami Heat.

The incident occurred in the paint when Spencer Jones’ leg accidentally collided with Jokić’s, leaving the Nuggets’ star writhing in pain before hobbling off to the locker room. Jokić was dominant before exiting, recording 21 points, eight assists, and five rebounds on 9-of-14 shooting.

Denver later ruled Jokić questionable to return, but he never checked back in and the game quickly slipped away. Miami erupted in the second half, outscoring the Nuggets 84-60 to secure a 147-123 blowout win.

The Heat controlled the game with elite shooting and ball movement, knocking down 22 threes and dishing out 40 assists. Jamal Murray led Denver with 20 points and 11 assists, but without Jokić, the Nuggets couldn’t keep pace.

Denver falls to 22-10 on the season, and all attention now shifts to Jokić’s knee — a storyline far bigger than the final score.

Kawhi Leonard Drops a Career-High 55

Kawhi Leonard reminded the NBA who he is.

Leonard poured in a career-high 55 points, putting on a scoring clinic that featured automatic midrange jumpers, powerful finishes at the rim, and ice-cold threes. Every defender tried him — none slowed him down.

No celebrations. No trash talk. Just buckets.

On a night where questions lingered about his health and longevity, Leonard answered them all with one of the most dominant performances of the season.

When Kawhi is locked in, the league feels it.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is back and the Bucks felt it immediately.

Returning after missing eight games with a strained calf, Antetokounmpo scored 29 points to lead Milwaukee past the Bulls in a much-needed win. He even capped the night with a windmill dunk after the buzzer that sparked some heated words on the court.

After the game, Giannis made one thing crystal clear: he’s not entertaining questions about his future in Milwaukee.

“I’m here. I’m here. I’m here,” Antetokounmpo said, shutting down trade speculation. “As long as I’m here, I’m gonna give everything I have — even in the last second of the game.”

The Bucks are 10–8 when Giannis plays this season and just 3–11 without him. He’s averaging 28.9 points on 64.1% shooting, along with 10 rebounds and 5.8 assists.

The message was loud and clear: Giannis is all in — and the Bucks go as he goes.

Nikola Jokić Makes NBA History on Christmas Day

Nikola Jokić delivered an all-time performance, dropping 56 points, 16 rebounds, and 15 assists as the Nuggets beat the Timberwolves 142–138 in overtime. It was the first 55-15-15 triple-double in NBA history.

Jokić scored 18 points in overtime, breaking Steph Curry’s record for most OT points in a game. Minnesota forced OT after erasing a 15-point deficit, with Anthony Edwards scoring 44, but he was ejected in the extra period.

Denver sits third in the West, Minnesota fifth and Jokić stole the show.

Bulls Stay Hot with Gritty Comeback Win in Atlanta

The Chicago Bulls made it four straight wins Tuesday night, rallying late to knock off the Hawks on the road for the second game in a row in Atlanta. Chicago trailed most of the night but flipped the switch in the fourth quarter and took control when it mattered most.

Tensions boiled over late when Trae Young and Ayo Dosunmu were hit with technical fouls after an on-court altercation. After the game, Dosunmu kept it blunt about what set him off:

“Well, no man would like that.”

The Bulls used the moment as fuel, punishing Atlanta in the paint and closing strong. They also survived another last-second scare, this time a missed half-court heave at the buzzer.

Chicago is now within one game of .500 and will look to keep the momentum going Friday night at home against the 76ers.

This rookie season from Kon Knueppel is getting ridiculous.

He just became the fastest player in NBA history to hit 100 career threes, doing it in only 29 games.

At this pace, he’s on track for 289 made threes this season — numbers usually reserved for veteran sharpshooters.

For context: Stephen Curry made 166 threes as a rookie.

Defenses are adjusting. The confidence is real.
This isn’t a hot streak anymore — it’s a breakout.

Kon Knueppel is announcing himself, one swish at a time.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 100 straight games with 20+ points.
No slumps. No nights off. Just consistency.

For decades, this list belonged to the past:
🥇 Wilt Chamberlain (126)
🥈 Wilt Chamberlain (92)
🥉 Oscar Robertson (79)

All from the 1960s

Now, in the modern NBA — faster, smarter, and full of load management — SGA has forced his way into history, sitting right between two versions of Wilt.

Every night, he gets to his spots and leaves with 20-plus.
Automatic.

A century of greatness and he’s still climbing.

Chris Finch Ejected, Fined $35K After Heated Exchange with Officials

Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch was ejected after a fiery argument with referees, a rare emotional moment for Minnesota’s typically calm leader. The NBA later fined Finch $35,000 for prolonged public criticism of officiating.

Finch said his frustration came from wanting to stand up for his players, but acknowledged he has to lead better in those moments. The incident reflects the intensity around a Timberwolves team with high expectations and shows even the most composed coaches can reach a breaking point.
