Three games were played tonight (Thursday through Friday) in the NBA.

Phoenix defeated Dallas away, New Orleans defeated the Knicks and the most surprising away win was at Golden State, where Indiana stunned the Warriors without three top five players.

New York Knicks (24:22) - New Orleans (28:17) 102: 91

Dallas (20:26) - Phoenix (9:35) 109: 101

Golden State (32:13) - Indiana (29: 17) 121: 117 (after overtime)

It is said that every player has a substitute and probably Indiana best illustrated this cliché. Only last night the Pacers defeated the Lakers away: Savonis scored a triple double, Lewart led with 30 points and Brogdon was the third rib with 19. But the three did not play in Oakland this morning and still Indiana managed to impress one of the best teams in the league that started in a five with Steph Kerry and Clay Tom. Justin Holiday was the one who sent the game into overtime with a big three six seconds to go. Golden State made a quick 0-5 run and the air seemed to run out for the Pacers. But Chris Duarte scored 4 straight points and five points for the Kiefer Sykes completed a 0:10 run that left even Steph Kerry unanswered.

Chris Duarte led seven players in double figures for the Pacers with 27 points, Justin Holiday contributed 16 and Jeremy Lamb contributed 14 from the bench to Indiana.

Steph Kerry tried to save his team with 39 points (6 of 16 off the arc) and 8 assists, but Clay Thompson could not find his handle and was stopped on 12 points, including 0 of 7 off the arc.

Kevin Lonnie scored 13 for the Warriors, who look much less good defensively without the injured Draimond Green.

Will they go all the way this time?

Dallas (20:26) - Phoenix (9:35) 109: 101 A

day after the big show against Toronto, Luka Doncic was stopped in front of the runner-up, who in turn achieved a fifth consecutive victory and continues to establish her position at the top of the West with the best balance in the league.

Chris Paul put in another fine game with 20 points, 11 assists and 0 turnovers and Devin Booker was again the executioner with 28 points.

It was the Suns' ninth straight win over Dallas, which led until the third quarter but lost the final quarter 35: 9.

Doncic, who scored 41 points against the Raptors last night, stopped at 28 this time in a bad percentage (9 of 23) and added 8 rebounds as well as 8 assists.

Jaylen Bronson added 19 and Forzingis 18 were not enough this time.

Only the seventh away win of the season for the Pelicans, who enjoyed a balanced and double-digit contribution from all five players, led by Lithuanian center Jonas Valenzionas who contributed 18 points and 10 rebounds.

New Orleans led 42:46 at the break, but exploded with a 12:32 run and dismantled its opponent with 15:35 in the third quarter.

Brandon Ingram and Devonta Graham added 15 for the winners, while RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson scored 17, but Julius Randall got into a nightmare game with 4 points (1 of 9 from the field) in 29 minutes.
