On this edition of Locked On NBA Game Night, Danny Cunningham (Locked On Cavs) and Swipa (Locked On Nuggets) discuss all of the NBA game from Dec. 21, including Jalen Brunson’s 47-point outburst as the New York Knicks beat the Miami Heat. The guys also talk about the wild wins by the Chicago Bulls over the Atlanta Hawks and the Sacramento Kings beating the Houston Rockets.

This episode of Locked On NBA Game Night features Gavin Schall and Ku Khahil breaking down the Houston Rockets’ biggest win of the season, led by Kevin Durant’s fiery leadership and Reed Shepherd’s breakout performance against the Denver Nuggets before bouncing around the rest of a crazy night in the association.

Minnesota Timberwolves edge out the Oklahoma City Thunder in a heart-stopping finish—Anthony Edwards shines with a clutch three-pointer and lockdown defense, but can the Thunder bounce back from a rare stumble? Haize and Rylan break down the on-court drama in the Western Conference, highlighting Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s struggles under pressure, Thunder’s cold shooting night, and the Wolves’ relentless physicality on the glass.
