NBA Fast Break Classic | Run 4 | Day 10
Brunson Blazes, Magic Advance
NBA Recap: December 9, 2025
The two NBA Cup quarterfinal games yesterday NBA Cup delivered decisive performances and clear semifinal storylines. In Orlando, the Magic outlasted the Heat 117–108, riding a dominant second quarter to seize control. Desmond Bane and Jalen Suggs powered the offense, while Miami’s late push fell short despite six Heat players in double figures including Norman Powell and Tyler Herro. The win sends Orlando into the semifinals in Las Vegas, marking another step forward for their young core.
Up in Toronto, the Knicks rolled past the Raptors 117–101, fueled by Jalen Brunson’s 35-point explosion and Josh Hart’s relentless energy. Karl-Anthony Towns returned to the lineup with 14 points and 16 rebounds, anchoring New York’s interior presence. Brandon Ingram’s 31 points kept Toronto competitive early, but a disastrous second quarter where they only scored 13 points doomed the Raptors, who dropped their fourth straight. The Knicks, long frustrated in NBA Cup play, finally broke through to the semifinals, where they’ll face Orlando in a marquee East clash. The winner will face Phoenix, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, or the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Cup Finals.
Fast Break Recap: Day 9
Classic, Pro, and Historic delivered positive win rates yesterday as 96%, 64%, and 80% (respectively) walked away happy.
Jalen Brunson was the second most utilized player and delivered a big performance to help New York advance to the NBA Cup semifinals. His 35 points (53 if he was your captain) led all scorers out of the top five and earned the Fast Break Stud of the Day award.
Scottie Barnes, on the other hand, could only score 13 points on 33% shooting, which hurt collectors’ opportunity to win a daily reward, but not enough to sink an entire lineup. With his poor day, he earned the Fast Break Dud of the Day.
Today’s Fast Break Objective(s): Day 10 of 13
Objective(s): 30 Rebounds (6.0 REB)
You’ll need five (5) players who will accumulate 30 or more rebounds, which means each player will need to average 6.0 REB. This is a straightforward objective, but your success will depend on which players you have remaining in this run considering there are only four teams in action. Your captain will also play a vital role in your win rate as they can make up for any players who fall below their expectations in rebounds. Keep in mind the two teams who win today will have a game on Day 13.
