Max Strus scored one of the baskets of the year to give the Cleveland Cavaliers the victory against the Dallas Mavericks (121-119) in the NBA, while Boston collected a ninth consecutive success by beating Philadelphia (117-99).
The Italians did well on the pitch: Simone Fontecchio scored 17 points in Detroit's success in Chicago (95-105), Gallinari collected eight with the Bucks in the victory over Charlotte (123-85).
In Cleveland, Dallas, driven by 75 points from the duo of Luka Doncic (45) and Kyrie Irving (30), still had a 10-point lead with less than four minutes to go.
But this is precisely the moment in which Cavaliers winger Max Strus chose to give his all, scoring four winning shots that allowed Cleveland to get within one point (113-112).
Finally scoring an incredible basket from his own half of the pitch, at the siren.
The Boston Celtics achieved their ninth consecutive victory, this time against the Philadelphia Sixers (117-99), with 60 points from the Jaylen Brown (31)-Jayson Tatum (29) duo.
Phila believed in it for a long time, but Boston inflicted a 15-0 on her midway through the fourth quarter.
The men in green reach a peak of 46 victories (against only 12 defeats) and are more than seven ahead of second place.
The Sixers have lost eight of their last 12 games in the absence of injured Joel Embiid.
Rudy Gobert's Wolves hosted Victor Wembanyama's Spurs.
And he won the first (114-105) achieving a double double (13 points, 17 rebounds) in a team led by Anthony Edwards (34 points).
"Wemby" also had his double-double (17 points, 13 rebounds), but the Spurs, last in the Western Conference (11-48), were unable to defeat Minnesota.
A surprise in the East, where Detroit, the worst franchise in the League, achieved its ninth success in 58 games against the Chicago Bulls (105-95), with 26 points from Cade Cunningham.
