Chicago Bulls – Luol Deng & Nate Robinson Thrive When it Matters the Most
For the millionth time – the Chicago Bulls don’t win with efficiently executed offensive basketball. They hustle, grind out gritty wins, who look a little bit easier when someone catches a good shooting day while the defense doesn’t suffer from any meltdowns. And even on a bad day, sometimes, the individual talent of Luol Deng comes out, while the unpredictability of Nate Robinson works in their favor.

Oklahoma City Thunder – Kevin Durant & Russell Westbrook Not Slowed Down by Fatigue & Injury
Back-to-back road games against tough teams aren’t exactly the easiest ways to get wins in the NBA, but Kevin Durant, shaking off a bruised left calf, and Russell Westbrook, didn’t let the excuse of fatigue get to them, putting on another individual scoring clinic to put in the usual example of just how talented scorers they are.

Considering the options left in the running back market, a team like the Denver Broncos, which has clear needs of improvement in that position, it’s been surprising there hasn’t been much action regarding resolving the situation.

Oklahoma City Thunder – Russell Westbrook is Best When He Operates Solo
It’s hard to find point guards that have been as selfish on the floor as Russell Westbrook is, but when he doesn’t have to waste precious brain-fuel on defense and chasing other players, he also doesn’t really need any help in getting the ball in the basket, once again out-shooting and force once also out scoring and losing less ball than his co-star, Kevin Durant.

Denver Nuggets – Corey Brewer Makes Andre Iguodala Look Good
Not for the first time this season and in recent weeks, the Denver Nuggets owe a victory to Corey Brewer, this time pulling off three big plays in the final seconds of a big win, giving Andre Iguodala the chance to be a hero with the game winner, while everyone was still shell-shocked by Danilo Gallinari probably tearing his ACL, now lost for the season and possibly much longer.
