"That was on full display Monday night in Charlotte, where the Detroit Pistons outlasted the Charlotte Hornets in a game defined by chaos and controversy. Detroit's 110-104 win featured a third-quarter brawl and four ejections, including the eighth of Isaiah Stewart's career (the second most in franchise history since 1997). Elsewhere, Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic penned the latest entry to his résumé Monday, tying Russell Westbrook for the most home triple-doubles in league history."
"Anthony Edwards' ascent as one of the league's brightest young stars continued with the 117th 30-point performance of his career, tying Shaquille O'Neal for the 11th-most such games by a player under 25. In Oklahoma City, the Thunder exposed the Los Angeles Lakers' inconsistency when they are without Luka Doncic, even though LeBron James continued to defy age with another playmaking showcase with his third straight double-digit assist game."
