Anthony Davis returns as Mavericks fall to Lakers

Anthony Davis (Dallas Mavericks)
November 2025

Davis made his first appearance since late October after a left calf strain, starting for Dallas and producing 12 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks in 28 minutes in a 129–119 defeat that dropped the Mavericks to 5–14 on the season. Having missed fourteen games while the team went 3–11 and slid to joint second-worst in the West, Davis’ efficient outing offered some encouragement, and Dallas now hope his return to roughly 21 points and 10 rebounds form can stabilise their defence and interior presence as he rebuilds rhythm.

Red hot Pistons tie franchise record with 13th straight win

Detroit Pistons
November 2025

The Detroit Pistons extended their winning streak to 13 games with a 122-117 victory over the Pacers, matching franchise records from the 1990 and 2004 title seasons and pushing their start to 15-2, a remarkable rise after just 14 wins in the entire 2023-24 campaign. Cade Cunningham led with 24 points, 11 rebounds and six assists, supported by Jalen Duren’s inside dominance and Caris LeVert’s scoring, while returning guard Jaden Ivey added punch under a minutes restriction. Detroit nearly blew an 18 point lead late but held on, setting up a record chasing NBA Cup clash in Boston.
