A sizzling Sunday night in the NBA. In the big match of the day i Boston Celtics they get away with the Minnesota Timberwolves: the reigning champions also reach +16 with Brown’s triples (16), but Minnie recovers with Anthony Edwards (28 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists), also having the winning ball at the siren, but Naz’s triple Reid is short: it ends 107-105. But at the top of the NBA still remain the Cleveland Cavaliers: 27 points each from Donovan Mitchell and the unsuspected Ty Jerome and Toronto Raptors by 122-108.
Important victory for i Miami Heat, who beat the Dallas Mavericks (still without Luka Doncic) in overtime for 123-118. The Texans have the ball to win it in regulation minutes but Dinwiddie is not precise and the defense of the Florida franchise then gets the better of it; Jimmy Butler flexes his muscles with 33 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.
Overtime is also needed in Sacramento, where the Kings lose against the Brooklyn Nets: Cam Thomas continues his climb to the NBA world with an evening of 34 points in 36 minutes, while for the Kings a Fox with 31 points and 10/16 from the field is not enough. For Jordi Fernandez’s roster it is the seventh victory of the season.
Philadelphia 76ers far from recovered: heavy defeat at home against i Los Angeles Clippersled by former player James Harden with 23 points. The Pennsylvania franchise, without Embiid and George, finds little from rookie Jared McCain and Tyrese Maxey, but the final 99-125 is emblematic. To close, the Indiana Pacers ended their streak of three consecutive knockouts by beating the Washington Wizards 115-103 at home, led by Pascal Siakam with 22 points.
