The NBA was buzzing with excitement over the weekend, and The Bounce Newsletter has all the details you need to know. From historic performances to controversial gestures, the league was full of drama and intrigue.
Luka Dončić of the Dallas Mavericks made history with six straight 30-point triple-doubles, a feat never before seen in the NBA. Despite his incredible performances, the Mavericks have only managed a 3-3 record during this stretch. Meanwhile, the OKC Thunder have surged to the top of the Western Conference standings with a 10-2 record in their last 12 games.
In a surprising turn of events, the Washington Wizards ended their 16-game losing streak with back-to-back wins, thanks in part to a lackluster performance by the Miami Heat. However, injuries continue to plague several key players across the league, including Steph Curry, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Joel Embiid.
The New Orleans Pelicans are quietly making a name for themselves as they climb the standings with a four-game win streak. Coach Willie Green has the team firing on all cylinders, with impressive performances on both offense and defense.
On a more controversial note, Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves was fined $100,000 for an inappropriate gesture and comments directed at officials after a recent game. Gobert’s remarks about the influence of gambling on the game have raised eyebrows and sparked debate within the league.
And in a nod to the Oscars, The Bounce Newsletter shared some quick thoughts on the recent Academy Awards ceremony, including praise for Christopher Nolan and Emma Stone’s performances in “Poor Things.”
