A pair of wins over Brooklyn and Philly steadies the ship after Detroit’s first four-game losing streak of the season. Nice to see seven guys score in double figures to make the Sixers pay for sending so many defenders at Cade Cunningham, who only needed eight points to control the whole game.

Thankfully, the games are still played, and that is the place where Dončić continues to do his magic.
