Only three games were played tonight (between Tuesday and Wednesday) in the NBA when the focus was on Cleveland's victory over ex-Hax LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.
The big star got respect from the Cavaliers fans but Donovan Mitchell stole the show with a season high game.
Cleveland (9:16) - Lakers (13:10) 102:116
LeBron James returned home, was greeted with applause and respect that is reserved for kings, but the one who wiped the show as mentioned was Donovan Mitchell who provided a season record when he finished with 43 points on the way to a third win in the last four games and the best home record in the best league in the world.
For the Lakers, Anthony Davis started with the five but felt bad already after 8 minutes and LeBron had to fight without him.
The king scored 21 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, but it wasn't enough.

Denver (10:14) - Dallas (11:13) 116:115
37.9 seconds to the end of the game, Bruce Brown hit a three-pointer and put the Nuggets ahead 111:112 and it seemed that they were on their way to victory, but Dorian Finney Smith hit a three-pointer of his own and gave the Mavericks a particularly dramatic victory.
Jamal Murray dribbled to the point when he was sent to the line and scored twice, but missed a shot at the buzzer.
Tim Hardaway Jr. was the winner's leading scorer with 29 points with Luka Doncic helping him with 22 points, adding 12 assists and 10 rebounds en route to a triple double.
For Denver, Aaron Gordon stood out with 27 points while Bones Hyland finished with 20 and Nikola Jokic added only 19.
