Lakers (26:28) - New Orleans (21:31) 122:139
After the loss against champion Denver, the Lakers got back DeAngelo Russell who led them to a very impressive victory against Zion Williamson and his friends, who just the night before defeated the strong Clippers.
The first quarter ended with a small advantage for the guests, but the Lakers exploded with a crushing 35:51 in their predatory second quarter and eventually cruised to victory.
As mentioned, Russell was 6-of-13 from beyond the arc on his way to 30 points in 40 minutes, more than any other player.
Austin Reeves contributed 27 points.
LeBron James recorded an excellent game of 21 points and no less than 14 assists, while Anthony Davis contributed 20 to the winners.
Zion Williamson was excellent on the other hand with 30 of his own and added 9 rebounds and 5 assists.
Brandon Ingram contributed 22 and C.J. McCollum 19, but the Lakers' trio scored en route to their fourth win in five games.
Sacramento (21:30) - Denver (17:36) 106:135
Precisely after two defeats, including a shameful loss against freckled Detroit, Sacramento exploded at the expense of the champion.
The first quarter was tight and ended with a small advantage for the guests, but 22:35 in the second quarter gave the advantage to the hosts, who only increased the gap in the second half and got closer to the top of the Western Conference.
Malik Monk almost didn't miss (9-for-13) and led seven players in double figures with 23. Domantas Sabonis and Keegan Murray each contributed 17, with the excellent Lithuanian also recording another triple-double with 10 assists and 17 rebounds.
Diaron Fox is exciting with 15 points, 10 assists and 5 steals.
On the other hand, Nikola Jokic was good with 23 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, but Jamal Murray had a very weak game of 12 points, but 6 turnovers for Denver, who only impressed yesterday with a win at the Lakers.

Milwaukee (19:34) - Charlotte (41:10) 84:120
After three frustrating losses, Milwaukee received an invitational opponent with almost no players and ran over it as expected in a game that was already decided in the first quarter.
Damian Lillard returned from injury to lead the way with 26 points for Doc Rivers, who moved into eighth all-time in the league with 1,099 career wins.
Malik Beasley hit seven 3-pointers on his way to 21 points for the Bucks, who had 15 and 15 rebounds and won only the second time in the Rivers era compared to 5 losses.
Patrick Beverley scored 6 points and added 4 assists off the bench in his new team debut.
Brandon Miller and Nick Richards scored 16 each for the Hornets, who played without the players that came to them in the trade, without the injured Lamelo Ball and with only 10 roster players.
Philadelphia (21:30) - Atlanta (29:23) 127:119
Joel Embiid is still not close to returning and without last season's MVP and this time also without the second star Tyrese Maxey, Philly suffered its eighth loss in nine games and continues to move away from the top of the Eastern Conference.
Trae Young starred on the other hand with 37 points and some key baskets in the last quarter.
Kelly Obera led the way with 28 points.
Tobias Harris added 21, but without its two All-Stars and without the injured Batum and Covington, the Sixers only managed to fight and come back in the last quarter, but suffered another painful loss.
Toronto (33:19) - Houston (28:23) 104:107
Emmanuel Quickley scored 25 points, RJ Barrett added 21 for Toronto, which benefited from a good contribution from the pair of players who came to it in a trade from the Knicks to achieve a fourth consecutive home victory, but only Third in the last 11 games.
Toronto already led by 22 points, but Houston reduced the deficit to only one point when Brooks' 3-pointer made it 105:104, but Barrett scored from the line.
Brooks scored 11 of his 20 points in the last quarter that ended at 19:33 for the visitors, but it wasn't enough for the Texans who were again missing their injured star Fred VanVilt.
