The regular season in the NBA enters the last line and the positional battles are in full swing.
Tonight (between Saturday and Sunday) seven games took place, including two big top battles in the West and the East.
Yesterday's and tonight's games:
Detroit (46:15) - Toronto (31:30) 95:91
Charlotte (43:19) - Miami (29:32) 103:108
Orlando (36:25) - Indiana (35:27) 121 :108
New York (27:35) - New Orleans (31:30) 106:128
Memphis (23:36) - Denver (19:42) 94:112
Philadelphia (20:39) - Boston (17:44) 110 :107
Utah (31:30) - San Antonio (46:14)
Huge drama.

Philadelphia (20:39) - Boston (17:44) 110:107
What an amazing finish in the brotherly city.
A volatile and slightly odd game started with a one-man show by Joel Embiid, but ended in a big win for the Celtics after Philly's three-quarter-court buzzer-beating 3-pointer was disallowed after being thrown out of bounds.
Even earlier, Jayson Tatum had a very mediocre day with a big stepback three with 1.3 seconds left, which turned out to be the game-winning basket.
The game began with the control of the Sixers, who led by 15 in the third quarter.
The Celtics' 18:43 run gave them a double-digit lead of their own in the final quarter, but Embiid made one last effort.
Philly equalized 107:107, then Tatum arrived, followed immediately by Embiid's lost basket of the year, and the Celtics increased the gap at the top of the Eastern Conference to one game from Milwaukee, and four from the Sixers.
Jaylen Brown led Boston's scoring list with 26, Derek White added 18 off the bench and Tatum finished with the same number of points with lukewarm percentages (7 of 17 from the field) but also 13 rebounds and 6 assists.
On the other hand, Joel Embiid finished a huge game of 41 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists with empty hands.
James Harden added 21 and 8 assists.
Memphis (23:36) - Denver (19:42) 94:112
The Grizzlies may no longer catch up to the Nuggets, who are firmly established at the top of the Western Conference, but tonight they at least provided them and the rest of the league with a statement, and sent a message.
Jay Morant and his teammates dominated the game unquestionably from start to finish, holding Denver to a negative season record in points and leading by no less than 32 at the end of three quarters, which allowed both teams to bench the stars in garbage time of the last quarter.
Morant led a balanced list of 7 scorers in double figures with 23, Tyus Jones added 17 and Luke Kennard, Xavier Tillman and Dillon Brooks each contributed 12.
On the other hand, Nikola Jokic was stopped at 15 points and 13 rebounds, and the Nuggets' four-game winning streak was stopped.
At least they still have a strong hold on first place, with a 5 game lead over Memphis.

Detroit (46:15) - Toronto (31:30) 95:91
Fourth win in a row and seventh in eight games for the Raptors, and they continue to improve positions and maybe even dream of playoffs without going through the playoffs.
Pascal Siakam scored the last 6 points for Toronto and closed the story from the line, en route to 29 in the entire game.
The Cameroonian was helped by Gary Trent Jr., who finished with 19 points and Bykov Poltal, who contributed 9 points and 14 rebounds.
The Pistons conceded less than 100 points for the first time since December 7 (96:116 victory over Miami), but did not avoid a fourth straight loss.
Marvin Bigley led them with 21 points and 18 rebounds.
