There are five NBA games of the night. The excellent moment continues Los Angeles Lakers, reached their fifth consecutive victory after the success over the New Orleans Pelicans 104-99. A comeback victory, thanks above all to the 29-15 run in the third quarter. Anthony Davis recorded a double double of 31 points and 14 rebounds, while LeBron James finished with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Decisive, however, was the career high of the increasingly convincing rookie Dalton Knecht, who scored 27 points with 10/17 from the field. Brandon Ingram’s 32 points and 8 assists weren’t enough for New Orleans.
A crazy triple at the end of the first overtime by Jayson Tatum gives the victory to the Boston Celtics about the Toronto Raptors. It ends 126-123 for the reigning NBA champions, who definitely suffer much more than expected against the team that has the worst record in the Eastern Conference and has reached their seventh defeat in a row. Tatum almost achieved a triple double, finishing with 24 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, while RJ Barrett achieved a triple double for Toronto with 25 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds.

Another sprint finish between Charlotte and Milwaukee. The Hornets are celebrating 115-114 in a match that was really decided in the final seconds, with the home team ahead with LaMelo Ball’s free throws and then with the guests betrayed by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s jumper which was rejected by the rim . The Greek was dominant with a triple double of 22 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists, while on the other hand Ball was the best with 26 points.
After four consecutive defeats the Dallas Mavericks win again and they do it in the Texas derby against the San Antonio Spurs. Clear success for the Mavs 110-93, who take definitive control of the game in a third quarter with a 38-18 lead. Doncic limited himself to 16 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, while the best were Kyrie Irving and Daniel Gafford, both with 22 points. San Antonio certainly pays for the absence of Victor Wembanyama, with Zach Collins being the best scorer with 20 points.
Magic moment by De’Aaron Fox. Yesterday the 60 points in the defeat against Minnesota (franchise record), today the 49 points with which Sacramento managed to beat the Utah Jazz 121-117, despite the absences of Domantas Sabonis and DeMar DeRozan. Fox thus becomes the player with the most points scored (109) in the history of the Kings in back-to-backs. On the other hand, a 25-point Lauri Markkanen wasn’t enough for Utah.
