There were plenty of NBA highlights on Tuesday night to keep the fans on the edge of their seats. The LA Lakers' LeBron James and the Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo took the top spots though.
James was in his elements during the pre-game warmup and then went on to make an amazing defensive play against the Phoenix Suns after the tip-off. Meanwhile, Antetokounmpo attacked the rim ferociously – and quite often too – against the Denver Nuggets.
Other players stepped up their game to make it to the highlights reel as well and here are the best of them from Tuesday.
