Chandler's block seals win for Lakers

Ingram sets up LeBron for a dunk with a tip pass
The Los Angeles Lakers are still working to figure out what type of team they will be but it appears as though Brandon Ingram and LeBron James have developed some sort of chemistry in the early going of tonight's game after this finish.

Robinson swatting shots left and right
The Knicks took a flier on Mitchell Robinson early in the second round of this past June's NBA draft and Robinson is sure paying dividends on the defensive end as he registered nine blocks against the Magic. On this play, Robinson closed out on Jerian Grant and rejected his three-point attempt with authority after attempting to take a charge.

Tatum beats the shot clock for the Celtics
While it has not been their best performance of the year this evening, by any stretch of the conversation, rising Celtics star Jayson Tatum came up clutch when his team needed it in the third quarter.

Lopez showing Curry range
Brook Lopez was signed in the offseason to beef up the Bucks frontcourt. However, the franchise may not have counted on him attempting Stephen Curry range threes. Lopez knocked down this deep three and he currently has eight on the night.
Brook Lopez RANGE! ☔️

Giannis crosses and slams
Giannis Antetokounmpo does something ridiculous every single night. Against the Nuggets, he showed off his dribbling skills with a nifty crossover, then threw down a lefty slam.

Paul sets up Capela for thunderous slam
The Rockets have certainly been offensively challenged as of late. However, Chris Paul and Clint Capela are helping to lead the charge against the Pacers. Paul dished a beautiful pass off to Capela as he rolled to the basket and threw down a two-handed slam dunk over a Pacers defender.

Tony Parker turned back the clock on Sunday afternoon, pouring in a season-high 24 points off the bench to help the Hornets to an important victory over the Pistons. It's still early in the season, but these are exactly the type of games the Hornets need to win in order to get back into the playoffs.
