The Mavericks get rid of the Lakers in the sprint after having wasted 21 lengths of margin: for the yellow-violet it is the sixth knockout in the last seven. Karl-Anthony Towns ends with 39 points in the T’Wolves success against the Warriors (34 points for Steph Curry), Nets fooled in the sprint and again knocked out against the Raptors. The Celtics do not stop their race and also beat the Hawks, second success in 48 hours for the Clippers over the Rockets. Pistons also beaten in Washington: Detroit thus collects the 14th defeat in the last 15 races
