Nine games took place tonight (between Wednesday and Thursday) in the NBA, with the focus being Kevin Durant's debut in the Phoenix Suns uniform.
Charlotte (44:20) - Phoenix (29:34) 105:91
After quite a few days of anticipation and rehabilitation due to an ankle injury, Kevin Durant finally put on the Suns jersey and delivered a great game helping his new teammates win.
Durant played 27 minutes and finished with 23 points.
The one who was outstanding in the game and showed Durant that he is the real owner in the end was Devin Booker, who finished with a great statistical line of 37 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.
Kelly Oubre and Terry Rozier each finished with 26 points but it wasn't enough without the injured Lamelo Ball.

Milwaukee (17:45) - Orlando (37:26) 117:139
The Bucks' all-time record for consecutive victories is 20 and was achieved somewhere in the first championship in the 1970-71 season and it seems that we are on our way to another record breaking by Giannis Antetokounmpo and his friends.
The Greek Freak was outstanding in the home game against the weak Magic and finished with 31 points and 3 of 4 from outside the arc.
With Jrue Holiday helping him with 23 points.
For the loser, Cole Anthony was the top scorer with 28.

In perhaps the most interesting game tonight, the Celtics had the upper hand with a prestigious and very important victory for the positions at the end of the regular season.
Jayson Tatum delivered another great game and led his teammates with 41 points, 8 assists and 11 rebounds while getting great help from Al Horford who finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds.
On the other side, Donovan Mitchell scored 44 points that did not help his team avoid a loss, with Darius Garland also adding 29 for the Cubs.
