Dallas (3: 6) - Boston (6: 4) 104: 107
Time and time again, Luka Doncic proves that he has the trait reserved for the greatest: special composure and a special ability to score victory baskets - even when the level of difficulty is highest, almost impossible. This is what happened tonight as well, when the marvelous Slovenian sniped a three-pointer on the buzzer over two guards, from a hard angle, almost without seeing the basket, and defeated the Celtics once again after the winning basket in the last second eight months ago, with the exact same step-back. Thanks to the mighty basket, Dallas continued its momentum with a third win in the last four games (and Friday in the last eight), bringing Boston back to the ground after the two victories that slightly forgot the storm following Marcus Smart's quotes against the team stars. Doncic finished the game with 33 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, Kristaps Forzingis added 21 and 7 rebounds, while the Celtics (who appeared without Jaylen Brown) were wasting an excellent offensive day for Jason Taitum with 32 and 11 rebounds.
Denver (4: 5) - Houston (8: 1) 94:95
Nikola Jokic's MVP campaign last season included a slew of clutch baskets, but it turns out that the Serbian chin knows how to produce money time moves on defense as well: his dramatic block at the expense of C 'Aging Tate on the buzzer continued the night in the composure of the European stars, giving the Nuggets a win after two straight losses.
Even before that, Denver got cause for concern when Michael Porter Jr. was injured in the first quarter and did not return, but 28 points and 14 rebounds from Jukic along with 15, 7 rebounds and 6 assists from Will Barton, left the win on the home side.
Daniel Theis led the Rockets remaining on a lone win this season, with 18 points and 5 rebounds.
Winner of games also in defense.

Chicago (3: 6) - Philadelphia (2: 8) 114: 105
A sixth straight win for Philly, who also scored on the home field of one of the best teams in the East at the start of the season. Joel Ambide was everywhere again and finished with 30 points (including a three-pointer that closed out interest in the final quarter) and 15 rebounds, but he was very lucky to stay in the game after late in the first half sending a punch into the air that accidentally hit Lonzo Ball in the head but escaped After a controversial decision by the judges. The Sixers' X Factor was Furkan Kurkmaz who sniped 25 points including 7 threes from the bench, on the other side an offensive play by Zack Lavine (32 points and 9 rebounds) and Damar Druzen (25) did not save the Bulls.
Miami (2: 7) - Utah (2: 7) 115: 118
Despite entanglement in the closing minutes, the Heat provided further proof that their excellent season opener is no accident, with another impressive win.
The Heat's lead was 19 with five minutes left, and the Jazz's comeback was halted only after Donovan Mitchell missed a three in the final seconds.
Tyler Hiro led the hit with 29 points, Kyle Laurie recorded a triple-double 19 in his career with 20, 12 rebounds and 10 assists and Jimmy Butler was also at his best with 27 points, including two crucial free throws 10 seconds to go.
On the other side were 37 points for Donovan Mitchell and 18 for Mike Conley, who did not prevent Utah from a second loss this season.
Another purposeful display, with a little help from the judges.
