NBA recap: LeBron is back, Giannis humble in victory, Curry continues resurgence 5

The NBA took a day off on Thanksgiving, returning in full force one day later with multiple superstars putting on a show, including LeBron James.

James, 37, missed the previous five games for the Los Angeles Lakers (6-11) due to left knee soreness.

In his absence, Anthony Davis has been phenomenal, leading the Purple & Gold to a 3-2 record without King James.

Davis, 29, continued his dominance in James’ return, putting up 25 points on 10-for-13 shooting from the field and grabbing 15 rebounds to go with three blocks.

James shot 8-for-17 from the floor en route to 21 points, eight rebounds, five assists and three steals, enough to push the Lakers past the San Antonio Spurs (6-14) at AT&T Center.

Bucks defeat Cavaliers as Antetokounmpo drops 38

The Milwaukee Bucks (13-5) overcame the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers (12-7) at Fiserv Forum on the back of a 38-point performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo, who displayed humilty via Twitter after the game.

“No skills. No talent. Only self belief and hard work,” Antetokounmpo tweeted.

Antetokounmpo’s belief and hard work were enough to push his team past Donovan Mitchell (29) and Darius Garland (20), who combined for 49 points.

Besides the “Greek Freak,” only Jevon Carter (18) and Bobby Portis (14) finished with double-digit scoring for Milwaukee.

Steph Curry continues Warriors resurgence

The Golden State Warriors (10-10) are back at .500 after Stephen Curry scored 33 points to help his side defeat the Utah Jazz (12-9) at Chase Center.

Curry, 34, drilled six triples, tied with Klay Thompson for the game-high in shots made from beyond the arc.
