Chicago Bulls, 112 – Brooklyn Nets, 138
The Brooklyn Nets got their chest out with a loud beating on the road to the Chicago Bulls. With fantastic James Harden (25 points, 7 rebounds and 16 assists) and Kevin Durant (27 points with 7 of 10 shooting, and 9 assists), the Brooklyn Nets disintegrated the Bulls giving an exhibition in attack and defense. The Nets (26-14) touched 40 points in the fourth quarter and made 17 of 32 triples.
The @BrooklynNets take home the big W behind @JHarden13‘s HUGE night!

Zach LaVine (22 points and 6 assists) and DeMar DeRozan (19 points and 4 rebounds) were the most outstanding scorers of some unrecognizable Bulls (27-12) who accumulated 17 turnovers and did not prove to be the leaders of the Eastern Conference.
Sacramento Kings, 125 – Los Angeles Lakers, 116
The Sacramento Kings, led by De’Aaron Fox (29 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists), dealt the umpteenth blow to the Los Angeles Lakers, which at the halfway point of the season are still a very unreliable, unbalanced team that is far from being a great contender for the ring. Harrison Barnes (23 points) and Tyler Haliburton (14 points and 10 assists) were also key in the victory for the Kings (17-27).

LeBron James again signed a great performance for the purple and gold (34 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists), but the Lakers only made 42.9% of their shots. Russell Westbrook was the best reflection of the lights and shadows thrown by these Lakers (21-21): he had 12 rebounds and 6 assists, but he only made 2 of his 14 shots (0 of 5 in triples) to stay at 8 points.
New York Knicks, 108 – Dallas Mavericks, 85
The New York Knicks overwhelmed some Dallas Mavericks that had six consecutive victories at the hands of RJ Barrett (32 points and 7 rebounds), Julius Randle (17 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists) and Mitchell Robinson (19 points and 10 rebounds) to put your mark on 21-21.
The Mavericks (22-19) were not at the height of the last games despite the fact that Luka Doncic had 21 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, although he only scored one of the nine triples he tried.
Philadelphia 76’ers, 98 – Charlotte Hornets, 109
Others who were thrown and stopped short were the Philadelphia 76ers, who after seven consecutive victories fell at home to the Hornets, who thus added their fourth consecutive victory: Gordon Hayward (30 points and 7 assists), Terry Rozier (22 points) and Miles Bridges (21 points and 8 rebounds) shone at Charlotte (23-19).
Joel Embiid (31 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists) was one more day the compass of the Sixers (23-17), but he was too alone in attack and only had the help of Tobias Harris who scored 17 points and captured 8 rebounds .
Utah Jazz, 91 – Cleveland Cavaliers, 111
Darius Garland achieved the first triple-double of his career (11 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists) in the successful assault of the Cleveland Cavaliers on the very hard court of the Utah Jazz. The great game of Lamar Stevens (23 points) and Lauri Markkanen (20 points) was also key in the triumph of the Cavaliers (24-18).

Without Rudy Gobert on the premises, the Jazz (28-14) were subdued on the rebound side which ended up costing them a painful defeat in which Jordan Clarkson (22 points) was the top scorer. Eric Paschall had 18 points and Donovan Mitchell had another 17 points.
Indiana Pacers, 100 – Boston Celtics, 119
Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum signed 34 and 33 points, respectively, to propel the Boston Celtics to their second straight win over the Indiana Pacers in three days, which also featured Denis Schroder with 23 points. The Celtics (21-21) had lost their last six away games. Juancho Hernángomez did not play for a single minute.

Domantas Sabonis (17 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists) was the main reference for some Pacers (15-27) very unfortunate from the perimeter (7 of 36 in triples). Myles Turner was Indiana’s leading scorer with 18 points.
Atlanta Hawks, 91 – Miami Heat, 115
The Miami Heat delved into the wound of an Atlanta Hawks who do not raise their heads and have lost their last three games. Tyler Herro (21 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists) led the Heat’s group of seven (26-15) over 10 points. Caleb Martin had 18 points and 10 rebounds and Yurtseven had 13 points and 10 rebounds.
John Collins (16 points and 11 rebounds) was the most outstanding of Atlanta’s (17-23), who are being one of the disappointments of the season. Trae Young played a poor game and only contributed 15 points on 4 of 15 shooting from the field.
Orlando Magic, 106 – Washington Wizards, 112
Kyle Kuzma stroked the triple-double (19 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists) in the Washington Wizards’ close victory against the Orlando Magic, who are the worst team in the NBA and who have lost their last 10 games. Despite playing without Bradley Beal, the great teamwork made possible the triumph of the Wizards (22-20).
Cole Anthony, of the Magic (7-35), also stayed at the door of the triple-double (19 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists), Robin López had 16 points and 11 rebounds and Franz Wagner 14 points and 10 assists.
San Antonio Spurs, 124 – Houston Rockets, 128
Eric Gordon (31 points) and the Houston Rockets ruined the great night of Dejounte Murray, who achieved a triple-double (32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists) but could not give the victory to the San Antonio Spurs (15-26 ) in the matchup between Texas teams. The Spanish Usman Garuba did not have minutes in the Rockets (12-31).
