You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
San Antonio is not slowing down for anyone. Stephon Castle dropped a season-high thirty-two points Friday night as the Spurs dismantled Golden State one hundred twenty-three to eighty-five, extending their win streak to eleven straight. Wembanyama added a double-double, and the Warriors, missing Stephen Curry, had no answers whatsoever.
Meanwhile in Miami, it was a two-man demolition. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo each erupted for thirty-seven points in a one hundred thirty-three to one twenty-one win over Cleveland in NBA Cup play. That makes them just the second duo in Heat history to hit that mark in the same game, joining LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. That is rare company.
Shifting to the trade wire, Dejounte Murray has formally requested his exit from Atlanta, and Phoenix is emerging as the frontrunner to land him. The Suns' existing ties to Klutch Sports could grease the wheels on a deal, giving Phoenix a legitimate shot at reshaping their backcourt before the deadline pressure really builds.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
