LA Clippers - Brooklyn 112: 108.
The Nets have needed a sign-up period since the start of the season, but it seems that since the arrival of James Harden they have become unstoppable, at least at this point.
Without the injured Kevin Durant, Steve Nash's team fought with all their might against the hosts, maintained a safe distance and withstood the pressure of the final quarter.
Harden, who was the leading scorer on the winning side with 37 points, was also there during the decisive run, when he squeezed with a small play an offense offense from McWay Leonard, which wiped out the Clippers ’hopes of keeping the home side.
Harden also added 11 rebounds and 7 assists, with Kyrie Irving assisting him big with 28 points and 8 assists.
Leonard, who did not know his soul about the whistle for an offense offense, finished an excellent personal evening of 29 points and 13 rebounds, which is only second in the host scoring column for Paul George who sniped 34 points.
Toronto - Philadelphia 103: 110.
The Raptors came into the game with a very clear plan - to stop Joel Ambide, who had scored 50 points 48 hours earlier.
It was tough, but the plan worked.
The fourth straight win for Toronto was completed thanks to team effort, defense and offense, when they stopped Ambide "only" on 26 points, scoring only about 30% from the field.
Nor did Ben Simmons' 28 points help the Sixers.
On the offensive side, the Raptors had Fred Vanville and Pascal Siakam scoring 23 points each, with Chris Bushay giving a shoulder with 17 points and 3 significant blocks.

Milwaukee - Sacramento 115: 128.
The Bucks took another step in their awakening campaign, with Yannis Antocompo being of course the light leading the camp out of the cave of losses, which stood in a streak of five.
It was Milwaukee's second straight win, with the Greek giant scoring 38 points and adding 18 rebounds in a mighty double-double.
Beside him Chris Middleton shone with 32 points.
Sacramento had nothing to offer against the two, despite great efforts by Tyrese Haliberton to keep her in the picture with 23 points.
New Orleans - Boston 115: 120 (after overtime).
Both teams lined up for the game as they faltered, and the Celtics seemed to be the ones emerging from the first mini-crisis.
Boston ran from the first minute and during the third quarter everything seemed ready for a long Jarbage time, already leading 55:79.
But here two factors have come together - the arrogance of the Celtics and the determination of the Pelicans.
It also had a result, with less than five minutes to the end of the game the scoreboard showed an incredible draw.
Zion Williamson still had time to give New Orleans the lead in the closing seconds, before Jason Taitum sent the game into overtime in a 108: 108 situation.
In overtime Boston had no air left, and she saw Brendan Ingram pull New Orleans to victory, leading the Pelicans with 33 points.
Williamson added 28 of his own and also picked up 10 rebounds.
On the losing side, Taitum, who disappeared in overtime, scored 32 points, with Jaylen Brown adding 27 points on a low percentage.
