So Many Games, So Little Time ⌛
This post’s packed with highlights, so let’s get straight to the…
NBA 🏀
Best game: On Friday, in an NBA cup game, Steph and the Warriors trailed Wemby and the Spurs by three points with two minutes left.
🎥 Want to watch the ending?
How about 49 points for Steph as his Warriors beat the Spurs, 109–108!
On Saturday, Luka scored 41 as the Lakers beat Giannis and the Bucks, 119–95.
🎥 Hit play on these Luka highlights!
On Sunday, the Bulls and the Jazz went to double overtime. Combined, the teams scored more points than any other game this season.
🎥 Ready to see who won?
That was Keyonte George with the game-winning three for the Jazz. Just as importantly, he hit all 10 of his free-throw attempts in the game!
And finally, on Monday, Jokić had a triple-double against the Bulls: 36 points, 18 rebounds, and 13 assists.
🎥 The Nuggets had to win, right?!
Alright, that’s four games in four nights. And now it’s your time to decide…

Biggest news: Ready to check on the standings?
Remember: the top eight teams in each conference make the playoffs after the 7, 8, 9, and 10 seeds have a mini “play-in tournament” for the last two spots.

Most experts expected the Thunder to be this good. But Pistons fans are thrilled with this start!
And see how close the Knicks and Heat are in the standings? Remember that for…
Wildest play: You guessed it: New York and Miami played last night.
🎥 And it came down to this last possession!
That’s a lot of great basketball, but it’s time for…
NFL Week 11 👔🏈
Best game: I’m bored with game-winning field goals! So, that rules out:
Dolphins over Commanders in Spain, 16–13
Texans over Titans, also 16–13
Panthers over Falcons, 30–27
Broncos over Chiefs, 22–19
And Bears over Vikings, 19–17 (although at least Chicago kicker Cairo Santos had the pressure of his team losing if he missed)
Technically, we could pick Seahawks vs. Rams.

But we’re not going with a game-losing, missed field goal either.
🎥 So, click here to watch Baker Mayfield and the Bucs against Josh Allen and the Bills!
Bills 44, Buccaneers 32.
After struggling with two first-half interceptions, Allen finished with six total touchdowns: three rushing and three passing.
Which brings us to…
Biggest news: Do you hear that? I think it’s Bills fans still chanting, “MVP! MVP! MVP!”
But, according to experts, Allen has the third-best chance of winning the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award this year, about 15%.
Ahead of him?
Rams QB Matthew Stafford at 40%.
And Patriots QB Drake Maye at 30%.
There are seven more weeks in the regular season, so lots of things could still change.
But we want to know…
Now, let’s move on to…
Wildest play: A team with a bird mascot lined up for the tush push on fourth down. Yawn!
But surprisingly for us, it wasn’t the Eagles.
And surprisingly for the Browns, the Ravens weren’t actually running the tush push.
🎥 Check out this fake!
That turned out to be the game-winning score for the Ravens!
Now, let’s finish with…
College Football Week 12 🎓🏈
Remember, the playoff rankings now come out on Tuesdays.
So, we’re saving spot the difference for Friday.
But let’s just say Texas won’t be moving in the right direction. That’s because the Longhorns got smoked by Georgia on Saturday night.
Just as bad for Texas fans?
#11 Oklahoma beat #4 Alabama, 23–21.
At least the Longhorns’ other rival, #3 Texas A&M, was getting blown out by South Carolina.
🎥 Enjoy these highlights with A&M down 30–3 after halftime!
I’m all for big comebacks, but I didn’t enjoy that at all.
So, let’s finish with a wild play to cheer me up.
🎥 Watch what Jacksonville State did right before halftime!
Hope you kept watching, because that hurdle in the Sam Houston game was pretty epic, too!
Now, have a great week Smallballers and we’ll see you Friday!

Steph Curry wins are always the best!
Having to watch Tech, A&M and OU all in the playoff is one of the levels of Hell in Dante’s inferno. I’m sure of it.
