Seven games were played tonight in the NBA when in focus we got Charlotte's convincing win over champions Milwaukee and the great battle between Boston and Indiana that was decided only after extra time with a Celtics celebration.
Charlotte (19:22) - Milwaukee (17:26) 99: 103
Milwaukee, the champion for those who forgot, managed to force a 99th draw towards the end but Lamello Ball, who excelled in the game, decided he would not come off the floor without the win when he sewed a huge basket - 15 seconds to the end of the game.
The great talent finished with 23 points.
Terry Roger led the Hornets' scenes with 27 and Miles Bridges added 17 of his own.
For the visitors, Chris Middleton finished with 27 while Yannis Antocompo with 26 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists failed to assist.

Portland (24:16) - Brooklyn (14:25) 108: 114
A day after barely beating San Antonio, the claimant to the crown surprisingly lost to the Blazer Trail.
Kyrie Irving, who is only allowed to play away games, made his second appearance of the season in total, finishing with 22 points, but failed to help his teammates avoid a rather surprising loss. Even Kevin Durant's 28 points and 10 rebounds failed to change the situation. Still missing Damien Lilliard and C.J. McCollum, Anfrani Simmons stood out with 23 points and 11 assists, Robert Covington added 21 of his own and Ben McElmore provided 20 points.

Boston (21:20) - Indiana (26:15) 98: 101 (after overtime)
We got the best game of the night at TD Garden.
The Pacers are still in short supply given a war, forced overtime but eventually surrendered to the host, who is considered one of the least expected teams in the league.
Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 26 points, Jason Taitum added 24 of his own and Robert Williams scored 14 points and added 12 rebounds.
For the loser, Tori Craig was the leading scorer with 19 points, Lance Stevenson added 14 and Domantas Savonis provided 11 points.
