Welcome to "NBA Daily Rewind" with Dillon from Big Dill Sports, where we break down the hottest games and spotlight the standout players making waves across the league. Let's dive right into the action from December 24th, 2025.

Kicking things off in Dallas, the Mavericks halted the Nuggets' impressive road win streak with a thrilling 126-121 victory. Rookie sensation Cooper Flagg showed why he's a big deal, dropping a game-high 33 points, complemented by nine rebounds and nine assists. He was supported by Anthony Davis, who added 31 points and nine boards. Despite a strong performance from Denver's Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokić, Flagg's clutch scoring in the final moments sealed the deal.

Over in Inglewood, Kawhi Leonard put on a show, powering the Clippers past the Rockets with a season-high 41 points. Leonard’s hot shooting was backed by James Harden contributing 29 points. The Clippers were on fire from deep, outscoring the Rockets by a solid margin. The high-energy third quarter was where they truly pulled away.

In Chicago, the Bulls pulled off a heart-stopping comeback against the Hawks. Coby White was the hero, sinking a go-ahead free throw with just 1.9 seconds left. White's 24 points helped Chicago secure a 126-123 win, extending their streak. Atlanta’s Josh Giddey showcased his talent with a triple-double, but it wasn't enough to stop the Bulls' late rally.

Meanwhile, Santi Aldama was unstoppable in Utah, leading the Grizzlies to a 137-128 victory over the Jazz. He matched his career high with 37 points, dominating from beyond the arc. Even without Ja Morant, the Grizzlies shot lights out and overcame Utah’s late-game surge, propelled by Kyle Filipowski’s strong effort.

In Phoenix, the Suns turned up the heat on the Lakers, cruising to a 132-108 victory. A stunning 45-point third quarter was the game-changer. Dillon Brooks led the charge with 25 points as the Suns took advantage of the Lakers’ turnovers. Missing Luka Dončić, the Lakers struggled, although LeBron James managed 23 points in the tough loss.

The Spurs kept their win streak alive, making it seven in a row by defeating the Thunder 130-110. San Antonio's balanced attack, led by Keldon Johnson off the bench, proved too much for Oklahoma City. Despite a solid effort from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Spurs' third-quarter run sealed their victory.

Elsewhere around the league, LaMelo Ball's 23 points led the Hornets over the Wizards. The Cavaliers showcased their depth in a blowout win against the Pelicans, featuring nine players in double figures. Kevin Porter Jr. paced the Bucks to a win over the Pacers, and Michael Porter Jr. was a force for the Nets in their victory over the 76ers. Anthony Edwards and Scottie Barnes were also pivotal in their respective team wins, continuing their impressive seasons.

Now, let’s shine the spotlight on our Big Dill Player of the Day: Cooper Flagg. The rookie’s dazzling performance was instrumental in the Mavericks' victory, and his late-game heroics against a tough Denver squad mark him as a name to watch.

In player news, Luka Dončić is expected back on Christmas Day, providing a much-needed boost for the Lakers. Despite recent setbacks, Dončić’s return is eagerly awaited as he aims to continue his MVP-caliber season.

That wraps up today's episode of "NBA Daily Rewind." Thanks for tuning in with Dillon from Big Dill Sports. We’ll see you next time for more thrilling basketball action and player highlights. Stay tuned and stay passionate, basketball fans!
