Reeves buzzer-beater; Rockets winning streak; Flagg s rite of passage?

Basketball     5:37pm, 30 October 2025

The Rockets won their second consecutive victory after changing formations: 139 points, 9 steals, 8 blocks and 27 fast break points against the Raptors today.

Previously, he scored 137 points in the net, 10 steals, 4 blocks and 21 fast break points.

Space + speed = win.

Shen Jing is close to a triple-double today, but the most important data is 9 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Durant scored 31 points, but had the team's highest 3 blocks. The third block was: Adams made a save, and Durant blocked Mamu under the basket - although Ethan's mistake followed.

The defense is high-pressure and energy-consuming, but it will leak - the Rockets allowed the Raptors to throw 21 three-pointers, and Shen Jing and Durant switched to defend Ingram many times, which was very energy-consuming - the half-court offense was stagnant, stumbling and not smooth. Ethan continued to score goals but made 5 turnovers. Every time Shepard came on the court, he was like, "Tomorrow, Dad Uduka is going to have a parent-teacher meeting and our class teacher knows what I will do if I get my midterm exam results."

However, after switching defenses, occasional flank attacks and strong pressure from defense to attack can make up for everything.

At the end of the fourth quarter, Amen and Shen Jing took turns to take turns in the positional battle.

Durant blocked Ingram. In the next round, Shen Jing caught Ingram's misalignment and fed Durant a long shot, effectively locking the game.

After that, Durant rebounded in the backcourt, and then a rocket ball:

Durant → Amen → Jabari missed the corner shot, and Adams rebounded in the frontcourt.

Durant's high pass to Shen Jing was slightly missed, and Adams rebounded in the offensive field.

So Durant shot the 31st point from long range.

had cooperation but was not smooth. He relied on hard work to ensure the bottom and completed the shooting.

31 points are not unusual for Durant, but in the second half, his rotation blocking, rebounding and defense (when he switched to Ingram) worked for the team and scored points easily.

Digression: The current rhythm of the Rockets in this century is best suited to the current rhythm of the Rockets-starting to catch up, scoring 20 points and 130 points on the fast break, stumbling and not smooth. But stealing the ball, blocking shots and offensive rebounds, maintaining vitality, counterattack and speed - this is Westbrook when he was still partnering with Durant in the Thunder.

The Celtics defeated the Cavaliers, Minot's second consecutive victory since starting.

Pritchard missed the basket but circled the rice ball; Anxi and Hauser made up for the long shot; Keita overwhelmed Garrett Allen; Minot poked Mobley. Jaylen played like a Finals MVP at the end of the second quarter.

The content of the Celtics' game is far better than the record. Stevens's summer handwriting-Minot, Anxi-are all shining, and even Majora's dispatching looks impressive.

When the Mavericks defeated the Pacers, was Cooper Flagg’s real coming-of-age ceremony?

He had won before, but at that time the team had thick eyebrows to protect him from the wind and rain.

My thick eyebrows hurt today. Dallas' offense was so sluggish that it relied on Brandon Williams (?) to connect with Powell (??) to repeatedly pick and roll.

Flagg first defended: first against Nesmith in one round, and then against Siakam.

In the fourth quarter, Smith was all smiles after volleying through the back door for 2+1. He chased and interfered with Sheppard's counterattack layup, and McCone's left-hand hook shot from behind. He ran a counterattack with Christie and made a left-hand layup.

Prevented Siakam's impact and gave Christie a chance to counterattack and dunk to open up 12 points.

blocked Siakam's breakthrough and forced Siakam to miss from the bottom corner.

15 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, and numerous successful defenses. Haven't missed a free throw so far this season.

Ranked third on the team with 15 points, second with 10 rebounds, and second with 4 assists: not a super genius, unable to get out of clean gaps, unable to score monster goals, relying only on confrontation and snake oil to fill up the data column and help the team win.

Solid.

Jokic scored 21+12+10 in 27 minutes today, starting the season with four consecutive triple-doubles: only 1961 Oscar and 2020 Westbrook have completed this before.

And Jokic's triple-double promotes the team's passing (rather than hinders it): last season the Nuggets ranked first in the league with 31 assists per game, and today the Nuggets have 40 assists. Nine players on the team had more than 2 assists. He and Braun, Murray and Gordon all formed mutual passing pairs. Today, Braun cuts inside to look for Murray's jump shot. He also receives Braun's pick-and-roll and receives Murray's looping return pass.

Jokic now has 168 triple-doubles - 34 in 70 games last season and 4 in 4 games this season: 181 for Oscar and 203 for Westbrook.

Reeves defeated the Timberwolves.

Started the season with 26 points and 9 assists, 25 points and 11 assists - taking over Luka's burden, 51 points and 9 assists, 41 points and 5 assists, and today he has 28 points and 16 assists.

The last Lakers player to score 25 points and 5 assists in the first five games of a season: Jerry West in 1970.

In fact, I can see that I am tired: I made 25 of 44 shots in the past two games, and I made 9 of 24 shots today.

The Timberwolves targeted Reeves, so Reeves tried his best to find Laravia's outside line and Ayton's short pass. Adaptability and cleverness.

Laravia was the biggest surprise today: In the previous 51-point battle with Reeves, Laravia had used his running position to pass the ball to him at the end to support him. Reeves' second-to-last goal today - a long shot from the top of the arc - was assisted by Laravia.

When McDan was chasing 111-114 with a long-range shot, Ayton stepped forward and missed the shot. Laravia rushed to the offensive rebound, but unfortunately it went out of bounds.

In the end, Knecht almost became a losing hole: Randall kept trying to name him.

Before the last ball, Reeves was exhausted: in the fourth quarter, he only took two long-range shots after receiving the ball, and the breakthrough was no longer effective; Ayton missed in the crowd and missed his own shot.

Pick-and-roll, change of direction, Mitchell-style low dribble tear, throw.

Ayton provided a cover, and Laravia provided movement involvement: Let DiVincenzo take over a step later.

Projection kill.

It feels like they have learned all the lessons from the defense when they were chased by the Timberwolves:

Response and cleverness.
