The Lakers never had a chance against the Timberwolves on Sunday, and a large part of that was due to the play of Karl-Anthony Towns. The big man has been playing some excellent basketball lately, and he kept it up with a 28-point, 18-rebound outing in this win. Towns has now had at least 28 points and 12 rebounds in six straight games.

The New Orleans Pelicans can't do anything to quell media chatter regarding the future of Anthony Davis. All the Pelicans can do is make it as hard as possible for Davis to leave New Orleans.

Part of that, of course, is showing Davis that the Pelicans can compete with the best teams in the Western Conference. And while they did a pretty good job of that last spring, reaching the conference semifinals for the first time in 10 years, things have been tougher this season.

DeRozan showed his old team what it was missing — and you know he meant to make a statement.

Prior to Jan. 3, 2019, DeMar DeRozan never had a triple double in his nine-and-a-half year NBA career. It’s pretty incredible when you think about it. The all-time leading scorer in Toronto Raptorshistory, who evolved into a playmaker last season and has continued his growth this year, never had double-digit assists and rebounds to accompany a big scoring night.

Indiana won a game relying on their offense, topping Atlanta on the road. Eight Pacers reached double figures, led by Thaddeus Young (21 points) and Tyreke Evans (19).

The Indiana Pacers needed a little bit from a lot of different guys to hold on late against an Atlanta Hawks team determined to keep their winning streak alive. The Pacers did their part to help the Hawks out early by falling behind 12-2 and missing their first eight shots. They trimmed the lead to three, but again fell behind after a pair of Atlanta threes, trailing 20-11 with five minutes left in the first.
