It was impossible to write a better script than this: AJ Griffin, the 19-year-old rookie of the Hawks, recorded his breakout game precisely against The team where his father Adrian serves as an assistant coach, and Kinah with a big, exciting victory basket.
Griffin, the 16th pick in the last draft, waited for overtime to decide the family duel.
In overtime, he scored 9 points out of his own in the entire game, and was signed as mentioned on the winning basket at the buzzer, after a perfect exercise by the Hawks, from a great assist by Trey Young that left him only to push the ball into the basket in the last second.
Young finished with 33 points and 12 assists, and DeAndre Hunter added 22. The Raptors, who are still missing Pascal Siakam, were led by Scotty Barnes with 28, 11 rebounds and 9 assists and OJ Anunovy with 27.
Philadelphia (8:8) - Minnesota (8:8) 112:109
After three consecutive victories - all against quality teams - the Sixers stopped and received more worrying news.
Joel Embiid and PJ Tucker suffered injuries during the game, and Philly's already short-handed roster without James Harden and Tyrese Maxey (who will be out for the next few weeks) succumbed.
Anthony Edwards with 25 points and DeAngelo Russell with 19 and 7 assists led the Timberwolves, who are celebrating their third win in a row.
Embiid recorded 32, 9 rebounds and 6 assists before getting injured, Shake Milton added 27.

Indiana (6:9) - Orlando (12:5) 113:114
Fourth victory in a row for the improving Pacers.
Two free throws and a quality defensive position by Aron Naismith (19 points) were the key to the difficult victory, which was achieved after Peretz Wagner and Mo Bamba missed in the final seconds.
Tyrese Halliburton with 22 and 14 assists and Myles Turner with 20 and 11 rebounds starred, on the other side 29 of Wagner and 22 and 11 rebounds of the fiery Bol Bol were not enough.
