New York (34:25) - Brooklyn (27:31) 111: 106
Harden left, Durant injured, Kyrie swinging, so Brooklyn found a new star: rookie Cam Thomas scored 21 points tonight, 16 of them in the final quarter, leading Brooklyn to an impressive comeback - After the Nets were already 28 points behind!
Thomas was just 2 of 11 from the field, until in the final quarter he led Brooklyn to a 0:15 run, en route to his first lead of the game 4 minutes to go.
Seth Kerry scored 20 points and Andre Drummond scored 19 rebounds, in Brooklyn's second game since the trade for Ben Simmons.
On the other hand, what can be said about the Knicks?
Julius Randall finished with 31 points, but it was probably New York's most embarrassing loss of the season, and it certainly had some.
This is the third time in the last seven games that New York has lost an advantage of 20 points or more, and is losing.
Boston (26:34) - Detroit (45:13) 112: 111
What a surprise in the Garden: Jeremy Grant scored 24 points, including the winning basket, and led Detroit to its first win after eight losses - and interrupted the fiery Boston to a streak of nine wins.
Jason Taitum missed the last shot that could have sent the Celtics to the All-Star break with 10 straight wins.
Cade Cunningham scored 20 and added a crucial block in the last minute.
Chicago (21:38) - Sacramento (38:22) 118: 125
Damar Drusen is in great shape, and tonight broke Wilt Chamberlain's record: Drusen finished with 38 points with 16 of 27 from the field, becoming the first ever in the league to score seven games in a row 35 points or more at 50 percent from the field and above.
Wilt made it six games in a row.
Drusen also completed an eighth straight game with 30 points or more, the longest streak since Michael Jordan in January 1996. Kobe White scored a season-high 31 points with 6 threes, Nikola Vucevic added 21 and 10, the Bulls with a fifth straight win .
Chicago rose to Mount Tshon in the east, half a game above Miami.
