Dallas (23:26) - Milwaukee (16:33) 129:117
Even a 25-point deficit did not stop Milwaukee, which recorded its first victory in the Doc Rivers era.
Giannis Antetokounmpo beat Luka Doncic with no less than 48 points.
Damian Lillard scored 30 for Milwaukee, which recorded a 0:15 run at the end of the first half and turned the bowl around in the last quarter with its biggest comeback of the season.
The wonderful Doncic returned to the Dallas starting five and scored 40 points with 11 assists, but was lonely in the campaign when Kyrie Irving missed a sixth straight game with an injury.
Philadelphia (6:30 p.m.) - Brooklyn (28:20) 136:121
The great Cam Thomas scored 40 points, Michael Bridges added 23, and Brooklyn quite easily beat the lackluster Philadelphia, which suffered its fifth loss in six games and has a record of 10:4 this season without The MVP Embiid.
Ben Simmons was held to 0 points against the Exes, as freshman All-Star Tyrese Maxey scored 23 for the hosts, who were also missing Tobias Harris and Nicolas Batum and were on a shorter-than-usual roster.
Brought Milwaukee back from 25 down with 48 points.

Chicago (27:23) - Sacramento (19:29) 123:115
Diaron Fox exploded with 41 points, with his partner Domantas Sabonis registering another triple double in the rather easy victory of the guests against one of the disappointing teams of the season.
The excellent Lithuanian contributed 13 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists and recorded a triple double 46 in his career.
Kobe White scored 26 for Chicago, DeMar DeRozan added 24, but even 24 and 12 rebounds by Nikola Vucevic did not prevent the 27th loss of the season to the sinking Bulls.
San Antonio (40:10) - Cleveland (16:31) 117:101
What will you say about Cleveland?
Despite dealing with a barrage of injuries, the Cubs have won 13 of their last 14 games.
Donovan Mitchell led as usual with 31, Evan Mobley contributed 28 and 10 rebounds for Cleveland who traveled against Victor Wombenyama and his friends.
Jarrett Allen dominated the paint with 26 and 16 rebounds.
On the other hand, Devin Vassell led with 22, Wemby added 19 and 14 rebounds, but failed to guard Allen.
