5 Fast Facts from Last Night’s Games — Korver Approaching NBA Record, Wall Drops 30 Again, Brooklyn and Orlando Snap Losing Streaks

Tuesday, Nov. 26 was highlighted by four NBA games featuring eight teams that were desperate for victories. From title contenders that were looking to maintain the red-hot pace with the top teams in their respective conferences to squads that simply haven’t been able to string together wins, every team involved had something to lose.

Here’s everything you need to know about what transpired.

1. Kyle Korver has drained a three-point field goal in 88 consecutive games. He’s one shy of matching Dana Barros’ NBA record.

2. The Brooklyn Nets earned a rare win, moving 4-10 overall and 2-7 on the road with a 102-100 victory over the Toronto Raptors. Andray Blatche scored 24 points and Joe Johnson dropped 21 to help the Nets snap a five-game losing streak.

Brooklyn scored just three points in the final 6:34, but managed to hold on.

3. DeMar DeRozan continued his breakout season with 27 points and Kyle Lowry posted 24 for the Raptors in the losing effort. Rudy Gay, meanwhile, hit a clutch three during the final minute, but later passed one up to give Amir Johnson a corner three in an attempt to tie the game.

Gay was 3-of-12 from the field and has now shot below 40.0 percent in eight of his first 14 appearances. It’s not hard to see why he’s becoming the most heavily-scrutinized player in the league.

4. John Wall put up 31 points, nine assists, six rebounds and three steals on 10-of-18 shooting from the field and 11-of-12 from the free throw line to lead the Washington Wizards to a 116-111 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Wall now has at least 30 points in each of his past three games after posting four 30-point performances in 2012-13.

Wall is the first Wizards player to score at least 30 points in three straight games since Antawn Jamison in 2009.

5. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined for 38 points, 17 assists, 13 rebounds, four steals and two blocks to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 102-101 escape of the New Orleans Pelicans. Thompson scored 22 of those points, while Curry posted 16, nine dimes, eight rebounds, three steals and a block.

The surprise of the night was Jermaine O’Neal adding season-high marks of 18 points and eight rebounds. For the Pelicans, Ryan Anderson put up 21 points and 12 boards for his first double-double of the year.

Bonus Fact: The Orlando Magic snapped a franchise record 17-game road losing streak by defeating the Atlanta Hawks 109-92. Arron Afflalo scored a game-high 26 points, both Victor Oladipo and Andrew Nicholson dropped 18, Nikola Vucevic posted another double-double and Jameer Nelson had 10 assists.
