In these games, stars such as Mitchell, Harden, the Great, Trae Young, Edwards, Barnes, Alexander, Gordon, Tucker Jr., Sabonis Jr., Randle and others have performed well. So, who will win the Player of the Day award? Let's take a look.
In the 76ers vs. Bulls game, the Bulls came prepared and took the lead, building a 12-point lead at one point in the opening game. The 76ers, led by the Western Emperor, quickly overtook the score and held a double-digit lead. Subsequently, the two teams fell into a tug-of-war, and the Bulls relied on Vucevic and White to contribute 47 points + 16 rebounds + 13 assists to the end. The 76ers' 6-game winning streak came to an end, and the emperor did his best! He played 37 minutes, shooting 15-of-28 (2-of-6 from three-point range) and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line, scoring 40 points + 14 rebounds + 6 assists + 2 blocks. According to statistics, this is the 40th time in the emperor's career that he has scored at least 40 points + 10 rebounds in a single game, ranking 6th in NBA history, behind Chamberlain (271), Baylor (78), Abdul-Jabbar (65), McAdoo (55) and O'Neal (43).
In the Wizards vs Kings game, the Wizards twin stars Poole and Kuzma teamed up to score 55 points + 8 rebounds + 3 assists, but the Wizards still only lasted one quarter of the game and were completely defeated, trailing by 21 points after the third quarter, and the comeback in garbage time in the final quarter was meaningless. On the King's side, 6 players on the team scored double-doubles, among them, Murray scored 25 points + 5 rebounds + 4 assists, Fox scored 30 points + 5 rebounds + 6 assists, and Sabonis Jr. was more efficient! He played 32 minutes, made 11 of 16 shots (1 of 1 three-pointers), 5 of 6 free throws, and scored a triple-double of 28 points + 13 rebounds + 12 assists, with a team-high plus/minus of +25! According to statistics, this is the 35th triple-double in Xiao Sa's career, ranking 13th in NB history. At the same time, it was the ninth time in his career that he recorded a triple-double with a 75% true shooting percentage, ranking fifth in NBA history, behind only Chamberlain (10), Harden (14), Johnson (14) and Jokic (30).
In the Pistons vs Hawks game, the Pistons dug a double-digit hole early, Cunningham scored 43 points + 5 rebounds + 7 assists, and Bogdanovic scored 25 points, but the Pistons' counterattack still fell short, swallowing a wave of 24 consecutive defeats, continuing to set a new record for the longest losing streak in team history, and only 2 games away from the longest single-season losing streak in NBA history (26 consecutive losses). On the older generation's side, Murray scored 20 points, Capela scored 17 points + 15 assists, and Trae Young was even more ruthless! He played 37 minutes, shooting 8-of-17 (4-of-11 from three-point range) and 12-of-12 from the free-throw line, contributing 31 points + 15 assists and a plus/minus of +16. According to statistics, this is the fourth consecutive game in which Trae Young has scored at least 30 points + 10 assists, setting a career record. Trae Young is also the fifth player in NBA history to do so, joining Big O, Westbrook, Jordan and Archibald.
In the game of the Clippers vs Pacers, the two teams were crazy about each other, and the Pacers scored double-doubles with all 7 players, especially the bench god Marceline, who scored 34 points, but the Pacers were still beaten by the Clippers all the way, trailing by 33 points at most, and finally suffered a 26-point defeat. On the Clippers' side, Xiaoka scored 28 points, George scored 27 points, and Zubac scored 18 points + 16 rebounds, but they are not the best players on the team, Harden is! Harden played 28 minutes, shooting 12-of-16 (8-of-11 from three-point range) and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line, scoring 35 points + 9 assists and having a plus/minus of +32. Especially in the last quarter, Harden scored 21 points in a row, single-handedly making the game lose suspense, which is very arrogant! According to statistics, Harden scored the most efficient 30+ career with a true shooting rate of 101% in this game. At the same time, Harden is the only player in NBA history to score at least 35 points + 9 assists + 8 three-pointers in less than 30 minutes.
In addition, the Cavaliers' Mitchell scored 37 points + 6 assists, the Timberwolves' Edwards scored 32 points + 8 rebounds + 5 assists, the Raptors' Barnes scored 22 points + 17 rebounds, the Thunder's Alexander scored 30 points + 9 rebounds + 5 assists, the Nuggets' Gordon contributed 21 points + 5 rebounds + 5 assists, the Jazz's Tucker Jr. scored 27 points + 6 assists, and the Knicks' Randle scored 27 points + 14 rebounds. The performances of the above stars are impressive, but considering the wins and losses of the game and the personal data of the stars, Harden's performance is too efficient and exciting, and he is unsuspensefully elected as the NBA Player of the Day by beating stars such as the Great, Trae Young, and Sabonis Jr. Fans, what do you think about this?
