In addition to Christopher Forzingis 'debut and Danny Abdia's excellent performance in the Washington Wizards' 123-133 win over Indirene Pacers, seven more NBA games were played tonight (Sunday through Monday).
Boston and Brooklyn met.
More precisely Jason Taitum and Kevin Durant met.
The Nets star was excellent (37 points) in his second game since returning from injury, but Taitum was simply above them all: 54 points (16 from 30 from the field) and his 5 rebounds set up a wonderful 120: 126 victory in the Garden.
Brooklyn has dropped to a negative balance (33:32), already counting four straight losses and six of its last seven games.
For the winner, Taitum equaled Larry Byrd when he reached the fourth game at least with more than 50 points in the Boston uniform.
Jaylen Brown added 21 points for the Celtics.
In the rematch of the NBA Finals, where she was crowned champion, Milwaukee defeated Phoenix, and this time did not win the title, but only increased its balance to 25:40.
The Suns gave up a fight, but failed to make it to the end without Chris Paul, Devin Booker and Cameron Johnson.
Yannis (19 points) ran into a foul problem in the fourth quarter, and the one who grabbed the reins was Chris Middleton, who finished with 44 points and 8 rebounds en route to 122: 132.
