San Antonio (56:15) - Phoenix (29:42) 131:106
The Suns didn't lag for a single second, winning for the eighth time in a row in San Antonio (and the third in a row overall) and now they are half a game away from Sacramento and Dallas, who are hot in their wake in the battle for the sixth place in the West.
Devin Booker was wonderful with 32 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, Kevin Durant added 25. On the other hand, Victor Wombenyama was satisfied with only 13 points.
Portland (52:19) - Denver (21:50) 114:111
The Blazers made history when they started with five rookies (Scott Henderson, Dop Rith, Chris Murray, Tomani Kamara, Ryan Rupert) - for the second time in history, and the first since Golden State B -2012.
This was largely due to a flurry of injuries - Anferni Simmons, Jeremy Grant, DeAndre Ayton, Shaydon Sharp and Malcolm Brogdon were absent, with the absences of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray on the other end making it a tight game.
In the end, Reggie Jackson (23 points) and Aaron Gordon (22 and 12 rebounds) made sure to close the deal.
Rith scored 24 on the other hand, Henderson 22. Denver clung to Oklahoma City at the top of the West.
Houston (35:35) - Utah (42:29) 119:147
The Rockets are already counting their eighth win in a row - the longest streak in the league after Boston, and their longest since November 2019 - and now they are only a game and a half away from Golden State in tenth place in the West.
Jaylen Green continued his dizzying form with 41 points with excellent percentages (15 of 22 from the field, 7 of 11 for 3), Fred VanVleet was also effective with 34 (11 of 16 from the field, 10 of 15 for 3 ).
John Collins scored 25 on the other hand.

New York (28:42) - Brooklyn (45:26) 93:105
Jaylen Brunson faltered with 17 points on 29 percent from the field (7 of 24), so the Knicks had to rely on Donte DiVincenzo who scored 31 points, Miles McBride played all 48 minutes and scored 26 points (6 of 12 from three), and the host wins the "Derby" in Saturday's early game.
The last quarter opened with an 80:80 tie, but the Knicks recorded a 4:21 run led by Divicenzo (10 points in the first 3 minutes of the quarter) to open a gap, on the way to a fifth win in six games, with a streak that was stopped in the loss in the previous game against Denver.
The team from New York is only one game away from third place in the Eastern Conference, and the hot McBride has only rested for 4 minutes (together!) in the three games.
For Brooklyn it's the sixth straight loss (and the eighth in the last nine games), Cam Thomas stood out with 19.
