Boston (16:16) - Cleveland (13:19) 101: 111

Deep into the fourth quarter after Boston secured the win, the crowd began shouting "We Want Joe." Fans at the Garden have asked to bring in 40-year-old Joe Johnson, who only a few hours ago signed with the team that selected him in the draft 20 years ago. Their request was indeed granted and Johnson received high applause after scoring a jump right at the last minute. Before that, the one who took care of arranging this victory was Jaylon Brown who scored 34 points. Robert Williams III added a career-high of 21 points and also 11 rebounds and Jason Taitum added 18 for the Celtics, who came out of the negative balance. Darius Carlans scored 28 points and Kevin Love added 18 for the Cubs, who were stopped after six straight wins and that is certainly understandable given the fact that they lacked three five-pointers and eight players in total due to the Corona plague.

Yannis Antocompo is still injured, but against the weak Rockets the champion managed even without its star with an explosion in the second quarter.

Jero Holiday was excellent as usual with 24 points and 10 assists, Chris Middleton got back to business with 23 points and Demarcus Cousins ​​mentioned oblivion with an effective color play that included 18 points in good percentages (7 of 13) and also 8 rebounds.

Christian Wood led Houston (20), which recorded its fourth loss in five games.

Starring in the absence of Yannis.

Oklahoma City (19:11) - Denver (15:15) 94: 108

Shay Gilges Alexander recorded a second triple-double of his career and swept his weak team to a surprise victory with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. Darius Basley added 17 and 11 rebounds and Lou Dort contributed 15 to the winners. Denver, who continues to get by with a particularly short roster and injury plague, received just 13 points from its MVP Nikola Jokic, Ark Gordon contributed 12 but it was not Denver's game.

Both teams played in the secondary roster entirely because of the Corona epidemic and if that wasn’t enough Kevin Harter who was supposed to start this game, was dismissed from the roster at the last minute after he too was diagnosed positive for the virus.

With all of these troubles and a substitute roster, the Hawks suffered a seventh straight home loss.

Orlando, who also lacks a lot of players, got 25 points from Franz Wagner who scored 25 points, veteran Robin Lopez added 10 and a career-high of 11 assists.

Cam Radish tried to prevent a loss on the other hand with a season-high 34 points, John Collins contributed 23 but other than those two no one made a significant contribution including Bogdan Bogdanovic who disappointed with 6 points off the bench in 22 minutes.
