Daily Recap- Dec. 21

Top Performances

Anthony Davis (New Orleans PF/C)- Tallied 38 points and 12 rebounds in a 101-99 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Davis has dominated the Thunder in two matchups this season, scoring 63 points combined in the contests, and was able to rebound after a poor showing (7 pts, 6 rebs) against the Portland Trail Blazers.
DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento PF/C)- Scored 29 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in a 108-101 win versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Cousins has looked great in his two games since returning from illness. His combination of size, speed and athleticism gives defenders problems on a nightly basis. Cousins' play will dictate how much of a playoff push the Kings can make this year.

Mason Plumlee (Brooklyn C)- Recorded 21 points and 12 rebounds in a 110-105 win over the Detroit Pistons. Plumlee hit 9 of 10 shots from the field and has scored 20+ points and blocked two or more shots in three of his last four games.
Nikola Vucevic (Orlando C)- Posted a stat line of 19 points and 17 rebounds in a 96-88 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Vucevic played well in the loss, and is one of the most consistent double-double threats in the league this season.

Play of the Night

Miami Heat forward James Ennis got the crowd on its' feet with a big putback dunk midway in the fourth quarter. He came flying in from the far corner to slam home a Chris Anderson miss, giving the Heat an 86-74 lead with five minutes to play in the game. Ennis would finish the game with 16 points and eight rebounds in what was a 100-84 win over the Boston Celtics.
