Let’s take a look at what happened in the games from around the league on November 4.
Cleveland Cavaliers continued their unbeaten run in the NBA this season with a narrow 116-114 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday.
Bucks, who suffered their fifth straight defeat, pushed the Cavaliers till the final minutes but fell short courtesy of Darius Garland who put on a stellar show at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Steph Curry made a sparkling return on the court and continued from where he left off as the star guard powered the Warriors to their fourth straight win of the season.
In his return, Curry scored 24 points on 7-of-15 shooting from the field along with six assists and three rebounds in 24 minutes.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who began their season with three back-to-back wins suffered their second straight loss on the road, going down 103-115.
More than the loss, the Lakers’ biggest worry would be Anthony Davis who injured his right ankle during the game.
Davis was once again the Lakers’ top scorer, finishing with 37 points. The 31-year-old Davis is averaging a league-high 32.6 points and his absence could further derail the Los Angeles team’s campaign.
After a shocking loss to the Pacers last week, the Celtics have returned to their winning ways, claiming their third straight win. Jayson Tatum finished with 28 points, while Derrick White contributed with 21 points and six assists.
Paul George’s debut for the Sixers was spoiled by Kevin Durant’s masterclass. The entertaining clash went right down to the wire. With the score tied at 116 in the final minutes of the game, Durant scored a clutch basket to help the Suns register their fifth straight win.
George, who missed the first five games due to injury, had a quiet night, scoring 15 points.
