LeBron and Lonzo each get triple-doubles

LeBron finished with 24 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, while Ball recorded 16 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. They're the first teammates to record a triple-double in the same game since Jason Kidd and Vince Carter in 2007. 

Harden gets another triple-double, Rockets get back to .500

Fresh off a 50-point triple-double in the Rockets' win over the Lakers on Thursday, James Harden followed that up with another triple-double in the Rockets' win over the Grizzlies. Harden finished with 32 points on just 14 shots, and added 12 points and 10 rebounds. This was the third straight win for the Rockets, who are now back to .500 on the season at 14-14. 

Griffin and Drummond lead Pistons over Celtics

The Pistons changed two different streaks on Saturday night when they beat the Celtics. First of all, they ended their own six-game losing streak, and in addition they ended the Celtics' eight-game winning streak. Detroit's two stars led the way, as Andre Drummond finished with 19 points and 20 rebounds, while Blake Griffin put up 27 points, eight rebounds and six assists. 

Towns gets fancy with his passing

Karl-Anthony Towns showed off his fancy passing ability against the Suns. After catching the ball at the high post, he dropped a pass over his head to Andrew Wiggins for the slam.

George goes off in Thunder win

Russell Westbrook had a rough shooting night for the Thunder, but they still beat the Clippers thanks to the man they re-signed this summer. Paul George finished with 33 points, seven rebounds and six assists to lead the Thunder past the Clippers. 

LeBron and Lonzo rock the rim

LeBron James is one of the most powerful dunkers in the league, and he showed that again against the Hornets. Out on the fastbreak, he rocked the rim with a thunderous one-hand slam. A short time later, Lonzo Ball followed up with an emphatic slam of his own. 

George protects the rim

Paul George is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, but he showed he can protect the rim as well. Against the Clippers, he got up for a nice rejection at the rim to start a Thunder fast break. 

Augustin beats the halftime buzzer

The first half of the Jazz-Magic contest in Mexico City wasn't the best basketball anyone has ever seen, but at least DJ Augustin ended things in style. Pulling up from way behind the line, he knocked down a 3-pointer to beat the buzzer. 

Rondo will miss remainder of Lakers road trip

The Los Angeles Lakers will continue to be without point guard Rajon Rondo for at least the next three games. According to Kyle Goon of the Southern California News Group, Rondo was cleared to resume normal basketball activities, but isn't slated to join the Lakers on the remainder of their three-game road trip. The trip wraps up on Tuesday when the Lakers take on the Brooklyn Nets.
