Just three days after coming back from a 30-point deficit and stunning the team in the league, Atlanta once again beat Boston in a crazy game with a record performance by one player. Dejounte Murray, the Hawks star in Trae Young's absence, gave a memorable performance with a career-high 44 points, including a tough game-winning basket at the overtime buzzer. Jaylen Brown was sure to win this game six seconds into overtime, but Murray, who scored all 11 of his team's points in overtime, had the final say with a hard basket over the hands of Jaro Holiday. Bogdan Bogdanovic added 24 for the Hawks and Deandra Hunter contributed 21 and 13 rebounds for the team that is ranked tenth in the East. Jayson Tatum led on the other hand with 31 for the Celtics, who are confident in the leadership of the East, Porzingis added 20 and Brown 18 but the Celtics were once again embarrassed against the black sheep.

New Orleans (28:45) - Milwaukee (27:46) 100:107
An impressive victory for the Pelicans, who as long as Zion Williamson is fit, will be a team that no one will be happy to meet in the playoffs. Zion led the winners with 28 points, CJ McCollum added 25 for the hosts, who exploded with 20:35 left in the second quarter and built a lead that Milwaukee was unable to return from. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the visitors with 35 points and 14 rebounds, Damian Lillard added 20, as well as Malik Beasley who shot six three-pointers, but Milwaukee suffered its second consecutive loss and its second place in the East is in danger.
