Happy Thanksgiving from The Heat Check! Trysta breaks down the latest in the NBA, starting with... the Lakers. Trysta hates it, but somehow they keep pulling off escape acts. She recaps the Lakers–Clippers NBA Cup game, how L.A. went from near collapse to now in great shape, and why nothing about this makes any sense.

Then she dives into the red-hot Detroit Pistons. Cade Cunningham is playing at an All-NBA level, the team is on a massive win streak, and they’re doing it without Jaden Ivey! Detroit basketball might be officially back.

Plus:
• New shocking updates in the NBA gambling scandal
• The Clippers sliding and Ty Lue’s seat getting hotter
• Hornets quietly gauging LaMelo Ball trade value — is it real?
