After the debacle with Dallas, Memphis at home finds success thanks to a victory against the Lakers (108-95) built in the second half. With Ja Morant absent due to injury and also entered the Covid-19 protocol, the Grizzlies relied on Jaren Jackson Jr. (25 points) and Desmond Bane (23). The 20 points and 10 rebounds of a super LeBron James who scored the 100th triple double in his career were not enough for the Los Angeles franchise.
Utah conquers its sixth consecutive success by overcoming Philadelphia (118-96) and strengthening its third position in the West. The Jazz brought in eight double-digit players, led by Donovan Mitchel and Rudy Gobert, breaking the Sixers' streak of three straight wins, with Joel Embiid stopping at 19 points.
San Antonio beats Denver (123-111) which suffers defeat number nine in the last 12 games.
A Nikola Jokic with 22 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists was not enough for the Nuggets, while Dejounte Murray shone with 20 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds among the Spurs.
