Denver beat the Boston Celtics for the second time (115-109), the team with the best record in the NBA (48 wins-14 losses), while Anthony Edwards lived his personal show with Minnesota against Indiana, which ended with a total by 44 points.
In Denver the Nuggets took the upper hand thanks to the usual Nikola Jokic.
The Serbian pivot scored yet another triple double (32 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists), his 20th of the season.
Jaylen Brown scored 41 points for the Celtics.
Anthony Edwards had a crazy game with the Timberwolves against the Pacers (113-111).
After missing a free throw with the Wolves, ahead by only two points, Edwards made up for it later in the action by flying to block Aaron Nesmith and prevent the equalizer.
Wolves were without Karl-Anthony Towns, who suffered a knee injury.
Luka Doncic became the second player in history to score five consecutive triple-doubles with 30+ points, tying Russell Westbrook's record streak.
Doncic put together 35 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists to help Dallas dominate Miami (114-108).
A precious victory in the race for the play-offs, which is very close in the West: Dallas is currently 8th (35 wins - 28 defeats), ahead of the Golden State Warriors (33-29), beaten at home by Chicago (125-122).
The Warriors had a tough night as in addition to the loss, star Stephen Curry injured his right ankle.
