From @StatsWilliams
In their 4 point loss, the Pacers used only 6 players against the Hawks.
That is the earliest into a season a team has used 6 or fewer players in a game since the Lakers in 1948 vs the Celtics.
The Lakers used only 5 players in their 3rd game of the season

This was the largest win (17 points) by any team to trail by 25+ points in the last 30 seasons
Per the great @StatsWilliams
Third straight win for the Warriors against West competition — Nuggets, Wolves and now Lakers. Erased disaster first quarter, came from 25 down for a 17-point runaway.
Steph Curry: 31 points, eight 3s.
Brandin Podziemski: 21-5-6, major second half impact
Niang/Melton: 27 combined, rescued GSW in first half

No player in NBA history has won a ring with four different teams, per @StatsWilliams. LeBron James is trying to become the first with this last chapter in Philadelphia.
Cooper Flagg scored 31 points against the Spurs.
That is the most points in a Las Vegas Summer League game by a No. 1 pick since John Wall in 2010 (also 31 points).
Stephen Curry tonight:
- 52 points (and 12 3-pointers)
- 10 rebounds
- 8 assists
- 5 steals
He is the 1st player with 50 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals in a game since Anthony Davis in 2016 vs the Nuggets.
Kawhi Leonard has made his 2nd career game-winning buzzer-beater.
The other was in Game 7 of the 2019 Conference Semifinals vs the 76ers.
Games with 7+ steals this season:
Dyson Daniels: 3
Rest of NBA combined: 1
Daniels is the 1st player with 7+ steals in 3 games in a season since Chris Paul in 2008-09.

Congratulations to 2025 Curt Gowdy Insight Award recipient, Adrian Wojnarowski. #GowdyAward
The Pistons are 21-19 on the season.
This is the first time they are multiple games over .500 since they were 39-37 during the 2018-19 season.
Thunder defense in 2nd half:
- 27 points
- 8-40 FG (20% FG pct)
- 3-24 3-pt FG
That is the fewest points and lowest FG pct allowed by any team in any half this season.

Per the great @StatsWilliams:
The Celtics have made 287 3s this season.
That is the most by any team over ANY 15-game span in NBA history

Per @StatsWilliams:
Nikola Jokic is the 1st player with multiple triple-doubles and multiple 40-point games within his first 4 games of a season in NBA history.
Nets up 109-108 with 6:27 to go.
LeBron James in the 4th quarter vs Kings:
- 16 points
- 5 rebounds
- 6 assists
- 6-6 FG
He is the 1st player with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 100% shooting in a quarter since pxp was first tracked in 1996-97.
And he did this in his 22nd season.

2 possible trends to follow in Minnesota:
From @StatsWilliams
1. Heavy Isolations
According to @SecondSpectrum , the Timberwolves have run 57 isolations this season, their 2nd-most over a 2-game span under Chris Finch.
2. More 3's
Last night vs. SAC: 20-50 from 3. They never took 50 3-point attempts in a game last season.
