NBA scores for Sunday, March 11
All times Eastern
Davis returns from injury, posts first career triple-double
Anthony Davis returned from a sprained ankle Sunday and he put on quite the show. On his 25th birthday, Davis put up his first career triple-double with 10 blocks. He was all over the floor all afternoon, but in the end his efforts weren't enough -- the host Pelicans lost to the Jazz. Davis finished with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 blocks.
One of those blocks was an incredible feat of athleticism.
And he showed off some of his hops, too.
Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio nearly posted a triple-double himself, leading the way for Utah with 30 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.
Towns leads Wolves to much-needed win
Minnesota needed a victory in a big way Sunday. They were up against the Warriors, and the Timberwolves were in serious danger of falling out of the playoffs if they continued their losing ways. However, Karl-Anthony Towns came through for them. He put up 31 points and pulled down 16 rebounds. This included a clutch bucket.
Hawks' Prince drops in 38
Taurean Prince had a remarkable 38 points, seven assists, and six rebounds against the Bulls on Sunday. However, the Hawks came up short.
LeBron and Thomas embrace
LeBron James and Isaiah Thomas saw each other for the first time since Thomas was traded to the Lakers. They hugged.
Rockets clinch postseason berth
The Rockets are in the playoffs! It wasn't pretty, but they beat the Mavericks to seal their spot.
Jazz's Mitchell gets ridiculous
Donovan Mitchell made a ridiculous layup Sunday against the Pelicans. It's stunning to think he made this shot.
Nuggets' Jokic gets triple-double
Nikola Jokic had a terrific game for the Nuggets. He posted a triple double with 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists.
He also showed off some his fancy footwork and passing skills when he put the Kings defense through a dance routine in the post.
Sabonis posterizes the Celtics
Domantas Sabonis put the Celtics on a poster with this monster dunk at the rim. The reaction with Trevor Booker was pretty great, too.
Wolves' Teague goes to the circus
Jeff Teague made a ridiculous circus shot through plenty of contact. How did he make this?
Sixers' Embiid has emphatic rejection
Joel Embiid smacked the ball so hard, it could have popped from the force. Instead it bounced up, then back into his hands. What a block.
Raptors' Ibaka sends it back
Serge Ibaka had to let the Knicks know that if they're going to go at the rim, they need to listen for his footsteps. He sent this shot attempt back to the third row.
Raptors' Valanciunas throws one down
Jonas Valanciunas threw down a hammer dunk over a poor Knicks defender. Sometimes it's just smarter to get out of the way.
Rose scores first bucket with Minnesota
Derrick Rose is back on a roster. On Sunday, he scored his first basket with the Timberwolves.
Mavs' Noel skies for an alley-oop
Nerlens Noel got up high for this slam dunk. Then he finished it with some real ferocity.
