The last night of the year in the NBA has some nice surprises in store.
Traditionally, the North American league put a few posters on the program of the "new years eve", the New Year's Eve.
And among the ten matches that took place on the 31st, two stood out.
First, Chicago's incredible victory over Indiana thanks to an incredible shoot from DeMar DeRozan.
With the Bulls down by one point, the all-star full-back recovers the ball seconds to the end of the game, goes up the field and then takes an improbable shot, in full imbalance and on one leg, which obviously makes string.

- Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) December 31, 2021
A basket which quickly went viral which gave the victory to the Bulls and allowed them to keep the lead of the Eastern Conference as we approach mid-season.
As for the Los Angeles Lakers, we are far from leading the conference, and we are even fighting to hope for a place in the play-offs.
And the victory of the 31st against Portland did a lot of good (139-106), after six defeats in a row.
LeBron James, who had just turned 37 the day before, has once again been Imperial and proved he's still here to dominate the league for a little while.
His stats sheet?
43 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals and no loss of ball in 29 minutes at a pivot position where he is helping out at the moment.
Granted, the Blazers are one of the worst teams in the league, but LeBron just isn't aging.
Continuation of the program tonight with six new games, including the trip of the best team in the League, Golden State, to Utah by Rudy Gobert (3 am).
The NBA never stops.
