5. In a big win over the Thunder, Lebron James showed just how tough he is, receiving a blow to the nose, but still finishing the dunk around Serge Ibaka.

4. The Minnesota Timberwolves showed the guile and pace in transition as Ronny Turiaf pulled off the block before Ricky Rubio dished the no-look pass to a teammate who found Cory Brewer for the dunk.

3. James Johnson had a decent night for the Grizzlies against the Clippers, with the iLike coming when he got the defender in the air with the fake before throwing an oop off the glass to himself and dunking it at the rim.

2. Cleveland Cavaliers’ Dion Waiters call for the pick, but then simply took his marker off the dribble and then stuffed it up and over the collapsing Sixers defence.

1. Goran Dragic is an assist master, but it was the finish from one of his passes which makes the reel. With Kenneth Faried contesting in mid-air, Green received the behind-backcourt oop and finished with authority as ‘the Manimal’ Faried went crashing to the ground.
