What we know about Sunday\u2019s games:<\/p>\n
Portland had the league\u2019s longest active winning streak (five games), but that was put to a halt in tonight\u2019s contest against the Knicks. New York, with the aid of 50 combined points from OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson were able to pick up the 123-114<\/a> victory. Sunday\u2019s top performers:<\/p>\n Tyrese Maxey: 38 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks, and 2 steals.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n 10:45 PM\/ January 11, 2026<\/p>\n Cleared for takeoff<\/p>\n No one slowed Amen Thompson down.

\nThe Spurs and Timberwolves are two of the top teams in the Western Conference, with each led by a young superstar, Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards, respectively. Tonight they battled down to the wire, and although Victor scored more points, it was Edwards\u2019 dagger with 16.8 seconds left that ended it, giving Minnesota the 104-103<\/a> win.
\nCJ McCollum and Corey Kispert made their debut with the Hawks, following Wednesday\u2019s trade that sent Trae Young to the Wizards. Their first test with their new squad was a success, helping defeat the Warriors 124-111<\/a>, extending Atlanta\u2019s win streak to three.<\/p>\n
\nScottie Barnes: 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists.
\nGiannis Antetokounmpo: 31 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal.
\nShai Gilgeous-Alexander: 29 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal.\u00a0
\nAmen Thompson: 31 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists. <\/p>\n
