NBA Roundup: Pistons make history, Anthony Edwards erupts, Steph Curry dazzles as NBA delivers action-packed Tuesday

A loaded Tuesday slate showcased elite performances, tight finishes, and extended streaks as teams battled for mid-season momentum across arenas.

 

Pistons Tie Franchise Record With 13th Straight Victory

 Pistons 122, Pacers 117 — Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis

Detroit’s Cinderella run continued as the Pistons matched their all-time longest winning streak at 13 games, showing poise in closing time against a stubborn Pacers squad. Cade Cunningham controlled the tempo throughout, delivering 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists in another all-around masterpiece. Detroit’s balanced attack helped them fend off Indiana’s late rally, even as Pascal Siakam tried to drag the Pacers back with 24 points and 8 boards.

 

The Pistons, once buried at the bottom of the standings, now look like one of the hottest teams in basketball.

Raptors Ride Ingram’s 37 to Top Cavaliers

Raptors 110, Cavaliers 99 — Scotiabank Arena, Toronto

Toronto found its rhythm early and leaned on star forward Brandon Ingram, who erupted for 37 points and 7 rebounds, slicing through Cleveland’s defense at will. The Raptors tightened up defensively in the second and third quarters, limiting the Cavs’ perimeter threats and forcing tough looks. Cleveland’s Jarred Tyson was one of the few bright spots, finishing with 15 points and 9 rebounds, but the Raptors’ balanced support around Ingram proved too much.

 

Knicks Win Battle of New York Behind KAT’s Dominant Night

The cross-borough clash delivered intensity, but the Knicks’ star power made the difference. Karl-Anthony Towns bullied the Nets in the paint and spaced the floor with equal ease, registering a massive 37 points and 12 rebounds. New York used a big third-quarter surge to break the game open.

Noah Clowney kept Brooklyn competitive with 31 points, showing flashes of elite scoring potential, but the Knicks’ execution down the stretch preserved the win.

 

Heat Clamp Down Late to Edge Mavericks

Heat 106, Mavericks 102 — Kaseya Center, Miami

 

Miami showcased its trademark defensive grit, holding Dallas to 21 fourth-quarter points while executing in crunch time. Rookie standout Kyle Ware posted an impressive 20 points, 18 rebounds, and 3 blocks, dominating the interior against the Mavs’ smaller lineups.

P.J. Washington tried to spark the Mavericks with 27 points, but Miami’s disciplined defensive rotations prevented Dallas from finding quality shots late.

 

Jokic’s Triple-Double Pushes Nuggets Past Grizzlies

Nuggets 125, Grizzlies 115 — FedExForum, Memphis

 

Nikola Jokic once again turned the court into a personal workshop, notching a 17-point, 10-rebound, 16-assist triple-double as Denver controlled the pace wire to wire. The Nuggets’ ball movement carved up Memphis’ defense, with Jokic orchestrating every possession.

Jock Landale delivered one of his best outings of the season with 26 points and 10 rebounds, but the Grizzlies couldn’t match Denver’s fluid offense.

 

Blazers Stun Bucks as Jerami Grant Torches Milwaukee

Portland delivered one of the night’s biggest surprises, taking down the Bucks behind Jerami Grant’s 35-point explosion. The Blazers pushed the pace early and never allowed Milwaukee to find its rhythm offensively.

Bobby Portis kept the Bucks within reach with 22 points and 6 rebounds, but Portland’s energy and Grant’s shot-making sealed the road upset.

 

Pelicans Win Shootout Against Bulls in High-Scoring Duel

Pelicans 143, Bulls 130 — Smoothie King Center, New Orleans

 

New Orleans lit up the scoreboard, overwhelming Chicago with pace, ball movement, and deep bench contributions. Saddiq Bey delivered a big performance with 20 points and 13 rebounds, helping stabilize the Pelicans’ offense in key stretches.

The Bulls got a strong game from Ayo Dosunmu—28 points—but Chicago’s defense simply couldn’t keep up as the Pelicans poured in 71 first-half points.

Rockets Roll in Phoenix as Ausar Thompson Shines

Houston dominated from the opening tip, suffocating Phoenix defensively and thriving in transition. Ausar Thompson played one of his finest all-around games of the season with 28 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists, constantly applying pressure on both ends.

Dillon Brooks led the Suns with 29 points, but Phoenix’s cold shooting and turnovers doomed any chance of a comeback.

 

Curry’s 31 Leads Warriors Past Jazz in Comfortable Home Win

Warriors 134, Jazz 117 — Chase Center, San Francisco

 

Stephen Curry delivered another vintage splash-filled night, burying six triples on his way to 31 points as Golden State controlled the game with tempo and spacing. The Warriors’ offense hummed with efficiency, topping 130 points for the second time in a week.

Keyonte George did everything he could for Utah with 28 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists, but the Jazz couldn’t match Golden State’s firepower.

 

Kings Outlast Wolves in OT Thriller Despite Edwards’ 43

Sacramento survived an all-out superstar performance from Anthony Edwards, who erupted for 43 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 steals in one of the best individual outings of the season.

The Kings stayed composed in the clutch, where Keegan Murray stepped up with 26 points and 14 rebounds, helping Sacramento close the game with a 16–11 advantage in overtime. Minnesota’s offensive stagnation in the extra period ultimately cost them.
