Assuming the Cavs beat the Hornets, we're getting a 10-game winning streak versus a 15-game winning streak on two days' rest between the top 2 teams in the NBA. Regular season NBA can't get much better than that.

Russell Westbrook is one of the only three players to record a PERFECT triple-double (100% FG and 0 TO):

• Russell Westbrook (tonight)
• Domantas Sabonis
• Nikola Jokic

Triple-double legend.

TOP PLAYOFF SCORERS BY DECADE

1940s: Joe Fulks
1950s: George Mikan
1960s: Jerry West
1970s: Kareem
1980s: Larry Bird
1990s: Michael Jordan
2000s: Kobe Bryant
2010s: LeBron James
2020s: Jayson Tatum

LeBron is the only player with 5,000-plus points in a decade. Kareem almost led the 80s too!

DeMar DeRozan is now 12-49 vs LeBron James in his career.

The oldest team (presumably least motivated by the money) is going to win the NBA cup

In the 2011-12 season, Ryan Anderson was the leading 3PA shooter with 6.9.

In the 2015-16 season, Steph Curry was the first 10+ 3PA shooter with 11.2.

In the 2024-25 season, Lamello Ball (13.1) and Brandon Miller (11.1) are the first teammates to both cross the 10+ 3PA mark.
