Boston (4:18) - Miami (12:10) 1211:134
After being within touching distance of the championship last season, Boston started this season as it ended the previous season and as of now is undoubtedly the best team in the league, and not only because of its balance sheet.
Jayson Tatum, the leading candidate for MVP, gave another performance against the team he met in the Eastern Conference finals last year with a season high of no less than 49 points, including eight 3-pointers.
It was Tatum's third game of the season with at least 40 points and Boston's 14th in the last 15 games.
Jaylen Brown assisted as usual with 26 points and Malcolm Brogdon contributed 21, including five of the Celtics' 22 3-pointers in this game.
Max Strauss scored 23 for Miami, while Adebayo had 23 of his own before he was ejected in the final seconds for a second technical foul.
New York (12:10) - Milwaukee (5:15) 109:103
Giannis Antetokounmpo exploded with 37 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, but Grayson Allen was the star of this victory with a clutch 3-pointer with 30 seconds left after Giannis himself had six fouls.
Allen, who went 7-for-7 from 3-point range in the win over Dallas, made just one 3-pointer this time but it decided the game as RJ Barrett tried to respond but missed a 3-pointer.
Jaro Holiday added 22 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists for the Bucks.
Barrett led the way with 26 with Julius Randle adding 18 and Bronson 17 but they didn't prevent the Bucks from a third straight win.

Phoenix (6:15) - Chicago (12:9) 113:132
How impressive was Devin Booker's game tonight?
The Phoenix star exploded on Chicago with no less than 51 points in a game where he didn't even play in the fourth quarter.
Booker gave perhaps his best game of his career when he crossed the 50 points mark in only 31 minutes and with simply amazing percentages.
Booker shot 20-of-25 from the field, including 6-of-7 from beyond the arc and is only the fourth player since 1995 to reach the 50-point mark with only 5 fouls.
Before that, only Kyrie Irving (twice), Giannis Antetokounmpo and Dejonte Murray did it.
Booker added 6 assists, most to DeAndre Ayton who dominated the paint with 30 points and 16 rebounds and recorded his seventh consecutive double-double.
DeMar DeRozan led the way with 29 and Zach LaVine contributed 21, but with a defense like this, talented Chicago has no chance of going far this season.
Cleveland (8:14) - Philadelphia (10:12) 85:113
Philadelphia's three-game winning streak was stopped by the powerful Cleveland, who exploded with 27:44 in the second quarter and went into the break with a 21-point lead, from which the injured Philadelphia could not come back.
Chris Levert led the winners with 22 points off the bench, the excellent Darius Garland contributed 21 and 9 assists and Donovan Mitchell added 18 for the Cubs, who already led by 33 in the fourth quarter.
Joel Embiid, who returned to business, led Philly with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, but it was far from enough for Philadelphia, which is already waiting for the return of the injured James Harden and Tyrese Maxey.
51 points in only 31 minutes.
