Napoli edged out Juventus 2-1 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in a pulsating Matchday 14 clash. They opened the scoring early thanks to Rasmus Hojlund, but Juventus hit back mid-second half through Kenan Yıldız to level things. However, Hojlund struck again in the 78th minute after a chaotic scramble in the box to restore the lead. Despite a late push, the Bianconeri couldn’t break Napoli’s defence, handing the Partenopei a crucial win and a boost to their title ambitions.
LeBron James doesn’t silence the crowd when he hits the road, he raises fans to their feet in exhilaration and gets them roaring in appreciation — as he did down the stretch in Philadelphia — for the clutch shots that could be the last they see in person as retirement speculation swirls. The 76ers, well, they could have done without James throwing his game back to his prime. In his first game since his NBA record double-digit scoring streak ended, James not only hit that mark in the first half, but he also scored 10 straight points in the fourth quarter in the decisive stretch that sent the Lakers to a 112-108 victory over the Sixers on Sunday night.
Celta Vigo stunned Real Madrid 2-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in a dramatic turn of events.

Madrid’s evening went from bad to worse as two red cards left them down to nine men, their first home league defeat of the season.

Oklahoma City shot 58% from the field and made 21 3-pointers. The Thunder scored 27 points off 17 Utah turnovers. Kyle Filipkowski led the Jazz with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Walter Clayton Jr. and Taylor Hendricks added 20 points apiece. Clayton had nine assists.

Julius Randle added 24 points for Minnesota. Reid's big shot capped a 19-point night off the bench, including 5 of 8 from deep. McDaniels then made two free throws with 4.8 seconds left and the Timberwolves held on. Minnesota won their season-high fifth straight game. The Clippers have lost seven of eight.
Anthony Davis scored 29 points and the Dallas Mavericks beat the Houston Rockets 122-109 in the NBA on Sunday (December 7, 2025) to finish a back-to-back coming off a blowout loss at defending champions Oklahoma City. Davis went 14 of 19 from the field a night after making just one of nine shots and scoring two points in 24 minutes in a 132-111 loss to the Thunder. It was fewest points of the 10-time All-Star's career when playing at least 20 minutes. Kevin Durant scored 20 of his 27 points in the first half but ended up not playing in the fourth quarter after the Mavericks outscored Houston 37-20 in the third and took a 21-point lead early in the fourth. The game was tied at halftime.
Borussia Dortmund cemented third place in the Bundesliga with a comfortable 2-0 win over Hoffenheim on Sunday (December 8, 2025). Julian Brandt set the home side on its way shortly before halftime.

Georginio Rutter scored his first goal of the Premier League season in stoppage time as Brighton salvaged a 1-1 home draw against West Ham on Sunday (December 8, 2025). Rutter found a gap between West Ham defenders to grab the equalizer with a shot from close range one minute into second-half added time. The goal was confirmed following a video review for a possible handball by the player in the buildup. It was the second straight league match without a win for Brighton, who are in seventh place. West Ham, winless in their last four league games, stayed 18th and inside the relegation zone.
Crystal Palace moved up to fourth place in the Premier League after defender Marc Guehi scored late in a 2-1 win at Fulham on Sunday (December 8, 2025).
