Portland (12:13) - Denver (10:15) 121:120
Tonight's game was in Portland, where Denver and the Blazers battled through a great fourth quarter, where the teams traded leads 15 times in the last 6 minutes!
The record was in the final seconds: 17 seconds to the end Aaron Gordon made it 117:118, Damian Lillard hit a typically great three-pointer 9.1 seconds to the end and put the Blazers up 118:120, but Jamal Murray responded with his own winning three-pointer 0.2 seconds to the end and determined the outcome of the game .
Nikola Jokic was again above everyone in terms of numbers with 33 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, but Murray, who until the last 3-pointer was 2 of 9 from beyond the arc, reminded how important he is to the Nuggets, who erased a double-digit deficit in the last quarter.
On the other side, Lillard scored 40 points including 9 of 17 from three and 12 assists, Yusuf Nurkic scored 21 and caught 9. Denver returns to win after three consecutive losses, Portland stopped after two wins.

Miami (14:12) - Los Angeles Clippers (13:14) 110:115
Miami is ranked only 10th in the East but is only two games behind Brooklyn in fourth place, and knows that if its stars continue to look their best they are headed in the right direction.
Tonight it worked: Bam Adebayo scored 31 points and finished with 10 rebounds, Jimmy Butler scored 26, Tyler Hero added 19 and Caleb Martin 17, but it was Butler who scored his team's last 8 points that secured the win.
On the other hand, Paul George finished with 28 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, while Kawhi Leonard was rested and missed 20 of 27 games of the season, and the Clippers are 2:0 in Florida after the loss in Orlando two days ago.
San Antonio (18:7) - Houston (18:7) 109:118
Gregg Popovich returned to the lines after two games in which he was absent due to a "medical procedure", Caledon Johnson scored 32 points, and San Antonio snapped an 11-game losing streak - the second longest in club history.
Johnson opened the game 9-for-9 from the field, and was part of a great third quarter by the Spurs that set up a turnaround.
Tara Jones scored a career-high 26 points on a night where the winners shot 55 percent from the field.
All of Houston's five players scored in double figures, in a battle between the two teams with the weakest balance in the West, Jabari Smith stood out with 23.
