NBA: the rollercoaster for the Celtics, intractable for the Knicks. Boston Celtics, led by Jaylen Brown, won an eighth victory in a row.

Minnesota Timberwolves, beaten the day before by Milwaukee (112-107), reacted perfectly by dominating Brooklyn (101-86) Orlando Magic, 6th in the East, won with a short header over the last Detroit, 112-109, thanks to three points (a basket followed by a free throw) registered at the last second by the Magic's young strong winger, Paolo Banchero.
