5 Carmelo Anthony joined the 18,000-point club this week off the acrobatics of near seven-footer Andrea Bargnani, twisting and turning to supply the assist, while falling out of bounds.
4 In a 37-point game for DeMar DeRozan against the Chicago Bulls, the guard cut through one of the league’s best defences to posterise Joachim Noah with the dunk.
3 Charlotte Bobcats’ guard Kemba Walker thought he was getting an easy lay-up in transition, but Lebron James wasn’t having it. From behind, LBJ took off and swatted the shot all the way into the fourth row.
2 It seemed Russell Westbrook had secured a place on the reel when he hit the clutch deep triple to give the Thunder a one-point with 2.3 seconds left against Golden State. However, the Warriors’ summer draft Andre Iguodala would ‘out-clutch’ him the buzzer-beating jumper for the 115-114 win.
1 Despite the Lakers’ plight, LA had something to cheer about, aside from the Clippers, when 6′ 4″ guard Xavier Henry rose up and slammed it home on the Pelicans’ near seven-foot centre Jeff Withey. Some are calling it an early candidate for dunk of the year.
