Daily Recap- Nov. 26.

Who Was Hot

Stephen Curry (Golden State PG)- Followed up his 40-point game with a 28-point, eight assist performance (Six 3-pointers) in a 111-96 win over the Orlando Magic. Curry did most of his scoring (25 points, five 3-pointers) in the first half, and is in quite a zone over his last few games.

DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento PF/C)- Put together another monster game, tallying 29 points (9-18 FG), 17 rebounds and six assists in a 102-89 loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. Cousins also added three blocks, and dominated the game down low without Dwight Howard to guard him.

Lebron James (Cleveland SF)- Came out strong and scored 29 points on 7-14 FG (14-17 FT) in a 113-87 win over the Washington Wizards. James also dished out 10 assists and grabbed eight rebounds in the revenge win over Washington.

Jose Calderon (New York PG)- Calderon got hot Wednesday night, hitting seven 3-pointers en route to a 21 point performance in a 109-102 overtime loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Calderon also grabbed 10 rebounds in only his third game of the year (due to injuries). This won't happen on a nightly basis, but Calderon certainly enjoyed more shot attempts with Carmelo Anthony out of the lineup.

Tyson Chandler (Dallas C)- Scored 17 points and pulled down 25 (YES- 25) rebounds in a 109-102 overtime win over the New York Knicks. Chandler continues to be one of the best rebounders in the NBA, and is averaging a double-double 10.3 ppg, 10.3 rpg) for the season.

Isaiah Canaan (Houston PG)- Started in place of Patrick Beverley, and scored 24 points on 9-16 shooting (six 3-pointers) in a 102-89 win over the Sacramento Kings. Canaan played a strong game for Houston, adding six rebounds, four assists, four steals and only one turnover in the win.

Who Was Not

Carlos Boozer (Los Angeles PF)- Scored only four points on 2-6 shooting in a 99-93 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. It marked the second time in 10 games the Boozer failed to score in double-digits.

J.R. Smith (New York SG/SF)- Shot 7-20 from the field, tallying only 15 points in a loss to Dallas on Wednesday night. Smith started in place of Carmelo Anthony, and even though he hit the game-tying shot with less than two seconds in regulation, was not efficient for New York.

Play of the Night 

Rookies Andrew Wiggins (No. 1 overall pick) and Jabari Parker (No. 2 overall) met for the first time in the regular season on Wednesday. Wiggins sent Parker's shot driving shot into the stands late in the third quarter, providing some excitement in what was a matchup between top bottom-10 teams in the NBA.
