Aside from the game between Washington and Danny Abdia, a total of two more NBA games were played tonight (Thursday through Friday).
Brooklyn - Philadelphia 110: 102.
The Nets did not want to let tonight's game escape them, but a play by Joel Ambide arranged the victory for Philly over the leader of the Eastern Conference table.
Ambide shelled out 34 points and led to victory despite a tremendous game from Kevin Durant (33 points) and James Harden (33 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists).
Philly's star went on his own and also went up in money time and closed out an interest 15 seconds to go with the final basket of the game.
After that basket came Ambide's "trash talk" with Durant and a technical foul was burned against the two.
In addition to Ambide, they scored for the Sixers Maxi 25, Kerry 17, Andre Drummond 10 and 10 rebounds and Tobias Harris 9 points.
On the other hand, Marcus Aldridge scored 12, Nick Claxton 10 and Patti Mills 5.

Orlando - Milwaukee 136: 118.
Even before the game, no one thought the result would look any different and indeed that is what happened.
The champion met a poor home team and exploded on it with a season-high points record.
Orlando still made comebacks, but Milwaukee was unmoved, re-widening the gap and cruising to an easy victory.
Yannis Antocompo starred with 33 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, Jero Holiday scored 25 and Chris Middleton added 22.
On the other hand, rookie Franz Wagner scored 20, his brother Mo added 19, Gary Harris 17, RJ Hampton 15 and center Wendell Carter Jr. 14 and 10 rebounds.
