It’s finally time to consider Isaiah Thomas as a star in the NBA, even if it’s long overdue or if he didn’t win Player of the Month for December. He followed up his 52-point performance last week with a career high 15 assists on Tuesday while beating the Jazz, 115-104. Not only was he passing the ball well, he also scored 29 points to go along with it. Thomas has now scored 20 points in 19 straight games, which is also a career high for him.

While the Jazz were again without George Hill, Thomas turned the game into his own highlight reel.

The Process worked!

Ricky Rubio tied the game 1.6 seconds remaining but that was not enough to stop The Process. The 76ers threw a lob up to Robert Covington, who converted and gave the Sixers a win over the Timberwolves, 93-91.

Closer Paul George arrived again

The Pacers have won three games in a row for the first time this season and maybe, just maybe, the conspiracies are over? Paul George finished with 32 points, six rebounds, and went 10-of-10 from the free-throw line.

No one has been able to record a triple double against the Grizzlies

Except for Julius Randle!

Dunk of the Night

The Heat lost to the Suns for the first time in nine years, but at least they had this Josh Richardson dunk.
