Milwaukee - Boston 123: 128. It was a game of intent that was particularly puzzling for the playoffs when the two strong teams in the East met for a head-to-head battle. True, it's only the middle of the regular season, but the feeling was April-May.
Each side displayed one of its cannons in full glory. The Bucks, of course, have Janis Antocompo, who once again finished an impressive double double, this time with 32 points and 17 rebounds. He got excellent help from Donetta Divinenzo, who got off the bench and scored 19 points and Chris Middleton added 17.
The Celtics mainly had Kamba Walker on a 40-point night and Marcus Smart's assist with 24 of his own. However, Gordon Hayward was weak, taking power shots off the arc and ending a dismal game of only 7 points.
New Orleans - Utah 132: 138 (extended). Brandon Ingram's career record with 49 points and a tremendous extension in the extension gave the Flickans a beautiful victory, stopping the Jazz's 10-win streak.
It was a tight game, of two stubborn teams, but as stated, New Orleans got a little more insistent as it ended the stretch with a stunning 0:11 run and wanted to celebrate - and most of all, wait for the upcoming Zion Williamson debut.
Donovan Mitchell was the main artillery force of the losing side as he scored 46 points, but despite the help of Bojan Bogdanovich who scored 26 points, the Jazz will have to start the winning streak again.
