Indiana (55:25) - Philadelphia (30:49) 131: 122
Joel Ambide believes he deserves to be named MVP this season and he proved it tonight as well when he finished with 45 points.
Ambide also picked up 13 rebounds and excelled in color, including allowing his teammates to stay out of the arc and score 17 threes together in just the first half and shatter the franchise record.
Thanks to the victory Philadelphia clung to Boston in a battle for the top spot in the East.
Tyrese Maxi scored 8 threes and 7 of them in the first half on the way to 30 points, James Harden settled for just 11, but handed out 14 assists.
On the other hand, Buddy the Boy did score 25 points and take 11 rebounds, but did not prevent the Pacers' eighth consecutive loss.
Orlando (59:21) - Cleveland (37:43) 115: 120
Orlando halted a six-game losing streak and handed Cleveland a loss that would mean it would play in the playoffs in the East.
Mo Bamba recorded a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds, Ignes Berzdaikis assisted Orlando with 20 points from the bench and that was enough against the Cubs despite 27 points from Darius Garland who also delivered 10 assists and 25 points from the Finn Laurie Markanen.
Kevin Love contributed 17 points and 13 rebounds.

Brooklyn (38:41) - Houston (60:20) 105: 118
Kyrie Irving also returned to the floor at the Hunts' home games last month and tonight abused the Rockets.
The local star scored 42 points to improve positions for his eighth-ranked team in the East, including 17 points in the crucial fourth quarter after Brooklyn nearly dropped a promising 21-point lead.
Kevin Durant added 18 points, Bruce Brown contributed 15 and also Cam Thomas and Andre Drummond contributed 13 and 10 points respectively.
Now Brooklyn is a game and a half away from Cleveland which lost tonight and also took advantage of the stumbles of Atlanta and Charlotte.
Kevin Porter Jr. recorded a season-high 36 points for Houston and Jaylen Green scored 30.
Miami (28:52) - Charlotte (39:40) 115: 144
A fifth straight win for Miami that scored no less than 144 points in a win over the Hornets, and has now hit even with a 2.5-game lead en route to securing the Eastern Summit.
Tyler Hiro starred with 35 points in a game in which six Miami players scored in double digits and also featured Jimmy Butler who scored 27, Am Adbaio with 22 and Duncan Robinson who added 21 points.
Miles Bridges with 29 led Charlotte and Lamello Bull scored 18 and delivered 14 assists in a mighty double-double, which was not enough in the game in which the host scored 57.1 percent from the field - 48 shots -84.
Toronto (33:46) - Atlanta (38:41) 108: 118
Pascal Siakam in a 31-point, 13-rebound game led his team to a victory that kept them fifth in the East and secured their place in the playoffs.
Scotty Barnes also stood out in Toronto with 19 points and 14 rebounds, Chris Bushay added 18 points and Gary Trent Jr. and Fred VanAllit contributed 14 and 12 respectively.
The Hawks' shots were led by Trey Young with 26 in addition to delivering 15 assists, but the loss halted a streak of five wins and the team would have to compete in the playoffs through the playoffs.
Chicago (34:45) - Milwaukee (30:49) 127: 106
Brock Lopez took matters into his own hands and with 28 points (season record) led the Bucks to victory in a lukewarm game of Yannis Antocompo who settled for 18 points.
Milwaukee retained third place in the East, but will finish first in the Central House for the fourth time in a row - something it has not done since the 1980s.
Milwaukee managed to escape their opponent to a double-digit lead as early as the first half, despite having a hard time stopping Damar Druzen who finished with 40 points.
Chicago dropped to sixth place following the loss and is a game behind compared to Toronto who defeated Atlanta.
Denver (33:47) - San Antonio (45:34) 116: 97
A significant step by the Spurs, who retained tenth place and eliminated the Lakers' chances of overtaking them.
Nikola Jukic shot 41 points alongside 17 rebounds, but made a rather meager contribution from the rest of his teammates and it was Devin Wassel and Caldon Johnson who with 20 points and 8 rebounds each led the Texans to an important victory over the sixth-ranked West.
It was San Antonio's first win in Denver since 2017.
Utah (32:47) - Memphis (24:55) 115: 121 (after overtime)
Denver lost and the one who took advantage of that well was Utah, who now took fifth place in the West and stopped the Grizzlies after seven straight wins in a game decided only at the end of overtime.
Rudy Guber scored 22 points and dropped 21 rebounds and Jordan Clarkson also scored 22 for the Jazz, in a game where Donovan Mitchell scored 20 and Hassan Whiteside 14 points and 10 rebounds from the bench.
All three top scorers in the game were Memphis's - Jaren Jackson Jr. 28, Tios Jones 24 and Desmond Bain 23, but the absence of Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks mainly affected the overtime in which Memphis did not score for 4 minutes and finished it With only 5 points.
Sacramento (51:29) - New Orleans (44:35) 123: 109
Oklahoma City (55:24) - Portland (52:27) 94:98
In a meeting between two teams that have nothing really to play for, it was Jaylen Howard who took the opportunity to finish with a career-high 24 points and he also took 21 rebounds to prove he deserved a contract earlier this month, even if he is for 10 Days only.
