OK. Back to basketball. Here’s what you missed on Sunday night.
Anthony Davis is still unstoppable
The Brow went off for 48 whole points — a season-high — in the Pelicans’ comeback overtime win over the Knicks on Sunday. It was his third straight game scoring 35 or more points at Madison Square Garden.
4⃣8⃣ points. 1⃣7⃣ boards. 4⃣ steals. 3⃣ blocks.

Yikes.
Miami has won seven in a row
They’ve done it thanks to beautiful offensive ball movement, spacing and player movement like on this play (despite a miss):
And a versatile, gritty defensive lineup that you should absolutely read more about here.
The Timberwolves keep getting better
Minnesota beat Portland by 13 on Sunday, picking up their 12th win in their last 15 games. They have won five straight games by double-digits, and their wire-to-wire drubbing of the Trail Blazers was further proof that this Jimmy Butler-led Minnesota team is here to stay.
