Another well-rounded list, just the way we like it. This week gave us a little bit of everything – breakout stretches, veteran brilliance, and superstar efficiency.
Immanuel Quickley headlines it with not one but two standout performances, while Andrew Nembhard powered a statement upset over the defending champion Thunder. Rui Hachimura looks fully back after his injury, LeBron James reminded everyone what 41 still looks like in a clutch fourth quarter, Joel Embiid stuffed the stat sheet with a triple-double, and reigning league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a smooth, efficient 40-piece against Milwaukee.
Even better, that’s not the rest of the list.
