It was a busy NBA night during the holiday weekend and all 10 games on the schedule had their own excitement. Superteams struggled, young guys thrived, and veterans took over in clutch moments. It was a great night for basketball. 

NBA scores for Saturday, Nov. 25

All times Eastern

Thunder lose again

The Thunder just can't get it together this season. Saturday was arguably their worst loss of the season in a blowout to a bad Mavericks team. Paul George finished with only a single basket in what really highlights a low point for them. There's reason to believe they can eventually get it together, but it's getting harder to believe that with each loss.
