At the same time as the game between Washington and Danny Avdia against Dallas, five games were played tonight (between Tuesday and Wednesday) in the NBA.
In the spotlight: Miami beat Boston in a repeat of the Eastern Conference Finals from last season, and Nikola Jokic excelled again in Denver's win over New Orleans.
Miami (22:27) - Boston (14:35) 95:98
The two teams that met in the Eastern Conference finals last season met again tonight and provided us with another thriller.
A 0:15 run by the Heat in the last quarter against only 13 points by the Celtics, arranged the victory for her.
Bam Adebayo tied the game with 20 seconds left when he put Miami ahead and finished the night with 30 points and 15 rebounds in Jimmy Butler's absence.
On the other side, Jayston Tatum scored 31 and added 14 rebounds.
New Orleans (22:26) - Denver (14:34) 99:98
After two games away, Nikola Jokic returned to the floor and provided another huge game.
The Nuggets star scored the winning basket with 16.9 seconds left and completed a game with another triple double of 25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.
The Pelicans hoped to come back in a game where they trailed almost the entire way, but C.J. McCollum's two fouls and a block on Rabbi Jones closed the deal.
Jamal Murray added 25 points to Jokic's side, McCollum with 20 on the losing side.
The rest of the results:
Indiana (25:24) - Chicago (25:22) 110:116
New York Knicks (23:26) - Cleveland (20:29) 103:105
Phoenix (24:25) - Charlotte (36:13) 97:128
