Aside from the defeat of Washington and Danny Abdia to Boston, tonight (Sunday through Monday) there were ten more games with their focus on another loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Luca Doncic's win over Ja Morant for the second time in a week and Golden State's dramatic win over Utah Jazz.
Miami (17:30) - LA Lakers (24:23) 107: 113
According to the result it seemed to be a close game but it came only after the hit took a foot off the gas and let LeBron and his teammates come back.
King James and his teammates are recording a fifth loss in their last seven games thanks to an impressive evening by Jimmy Butler who recorded a tenth triple double in the Miami uniform with 20 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.
Aside from Butler, Duncan Robinson also stood out with 25. LeBron as usual was the Lakers' standout with 33 points and 11 rebounds while Marcel Westbrook added 24 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, but that was not enough.

The second matchup between the great talents - Luka Doncic and Ja Morant ended again with a victory for the Slovenian.
Although Morant finished with 35 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists, Luca responded with 37 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists that he was very close to an impressive triple double and led the Mavericks to a convincing victory.
Other than that Christaps Forzingis added 15 points, 8 rebounds and 6 blocks, Jaylen Branson has strengthened with 13 and the hosts with 11 wins from their last 13 games.
Golden State (13:34) - Utah (17:30) 92:94
Without Drymond Green and Clay Thompson and with a particularly solid night for Steph Kerry who finished with just 13 points, the Warriors recorded a hard and very important victory.
Jordan Paul excelled for the hosts with 20 points while Andrew Wiggins added 14. For the Jazz, Bojan Bogdanovic was the leading scorer with 21 but when Donovan Mitchell was absent it was not enough against Steve Kerr's team.
