Ten games took place tonight in the best league in the world when the focus was on the great drama between Dallas and San Antonio.
Dallas - San Antonio 119: 117
In a 117: 117 situation and with 0.5 seconds left on the clock, came the great moment of Damar Druzen, who managed to bury the winning basket from distance baths.
The Spurs who came into the game with a negative and annoying streak of five losses, can finally smile.
The shooting guard finished with 33 points with 27 of them scored in the last 24 minutes.
Jonata Marie added 25 for the winner.
On the other side, Luka Doncic finished with a nice stat line of 29 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, but the Mavericks once again lost a critical battle against a direct contender for the playoffs.
Kristaps Forzingis finished with a typical double-double (31 and 15 rebounds).
Denver - Boston 105: 87
The Nuggets were halted after eight straight wins after a crazy game against the Celtics, who managed to wipe out a double-digit deficit twice during the game.
In the final quarter the visitors ran for an amazing 8:31 and actually closed the story of Nicola Jokitz and his teammates.
Jukic finished with a triple-double of 17 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, Porter added 22 and 11 rebounds for the loser.
Jason Taitum continued his marvelous week, this time with 28 points and 10 rebounds, and Jaylen Brown added 20 points for the winner.
Portland - Miami 107: 98
Say, who can stop the runner-up, who recorded a Friday night win in her last seven games.
This time those who took command were Am Adbaio who scored 22, and Jimmy Butler with 20 points of his own.
C.J. McCollum and Norman Powell scored 17 each for the Blazers.
Damien Lillard finished a disappointing game with just 12 points.
Cleveland - New Orleans 116: 109
What a wonderful evening for Zion Williamson, who shone with 38 points and was a single point away from the peak of his career.
And if that wasn’t enough, the young star scored 16 of his 22 shots and also added 9 rebounds and 4 assists.
