The Nuggets, despite their chaotic season thus far, are just 0.5 games out of the 5th seed and only one loss behind the 4th seeded Grizzlies.
The West is still wide open from seeds 4-11 which are only seperated by 3.5 games. – 12:09 AM

As much as a stinger as last night vs BKN was, Tonight in MEM was that satisfying. Nice to see @Reggie Bullock do Reggie Bullock things. And can’t say enough about Moses Brown’s night. Have a feeling we might see another round of him vs Sabonis and Turner on Friday in Indy. – 11:35 PM

Anthony Edwards said the best rim protector in the league is Kristaps Porzingis. On Rudy Gobert, Ant was honest …
‘Anytime I go against Porzingis, I don’t get no layups. I don’t get why we couldn’t finish on Rudy Gobert. He don’t put no fear in my heart. I don’t know why.” – 11:24 PM

James Harden had twice as many turnovers (8) as field goals (4-of-16). He went into the teeth of a packed-in #Rockets defense all game, coming off 42 minutes logged last night in Dallas. It showed. #Nets – 10:56 PM

“They want to call the attack in the first half and then the second half they want to call nothing.” – 10:54 PM

If Luka hadn’t argued after his last Q2 shot, looks like he could’ve gotten the offensive rebound instead.
Instead he pushed past Jalen Brunson, trying to calm him down, and got T’d up at the end of the half.
