Milwaukee (26:46) - LA Lakers (32:40) 128:124 (after two overtimes)
one of the best games of the season.
The Bucks, who came after a big victory over Oklahoma City and with four wins in five games, seemed to be on the sure path to another victory against the guest who was missing LeBron James - but then a huge comeback began for the yellow-purples, who, quite surprisingly, have a higher percentage of success this season without LeBron than together with him.
After already leading by 19 in the last quarter, the Lakers closed the legal time with a run of 7:26 and forced overtime, taking full advantage of Giannis Antetokounmpo's unstable hand from the free throw line (1 of 6 tonight, including a number of fouls in money time).
Anthony Davis made the difference with a huge game of 34 points, 23 rebounds and 4 blocks - one of them on Damian Lillard in the last attack of the first overtime - playing no less than 52 minutes.
Austin Reeves also stepped up at the right time and finished with a triple double of 29 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, signing a crucial three-pointer half a minute into the second overtime.
DeAngelo Russell scored him several points and added 12 assists and 7 rebounds, and Roy Hachimura finished with a double-double of 16 and 14 rebounds, en route to the Lakers' fourth consecutive victory.
On the other side, Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded his own triple double with 29 points, 21 rebounds (a season high) and 11 assists, but as mentioned, he missed the penalty shot at crucial moments.
Damian Lillard (27) and Malik Beasley (21) helped him, but it wasn't enough this time.

Miami (33:39) - Golden State (34:37) 113:92
After three losses in four games, the pressure on Golden State skyrocketed, especially against the background of Houston's winning streak, which is burning behind it in the fight for the place in the play-in.
Before tonight's game, Steve Kerr decided to refresh the five and brought back Klay Thompson - who responded to the challenge, and in a big way.
28 points sniper Clay, who helped the Warriors escape in the second half and record a very important victory over the runner-up who continues the strange trend of the team this season, with a better away record than a home record.
Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins added 17 points each, while the Heat, who were missing the sick Jimmy Butler, got 24 points from Bam Adebayo.
Haywood Highsmith and Terry Rozier also contributed with 15 each, but Miami continues to falter.
New Orleans (28:44) - Oklahoma City (21:50) 119:112
A win of the Thunder's character gave them a big victory, which brings them closer to a gap of only half a game from Denver in the first place in the West.
The game was very close in the last quarter after the Pelicans erased a double-digit deficit in the second half, but the Thunder's 0:12 run in the closing minutes decided it.
Jalen Williams scored 26 points, Shea Gilges Alexander added 24 including a clutch three-pointer with a minute and a half to go (despite playing with a minor injury) and Josh Giddy also stood out with 25. On the other side, Zion Williamson starred with 29 and 10 Assists and CJ McCollum added 23, but they didn't prevent OKC from winning for the fifth time in six games.
Came in time.

Sacramento (30:42) - Dallas (29:43) 132:96
Fifth consecutive victory for the hot Mavs, who are in sixth place in the Western Conference with a one-game advantage over the Kings.
Luka Doncic scored 26 points in the first half (out of 28 in the entire game), and in the second half he cleared the stage for the rest of his teammates who helped him make an escape, with an overwhelming third quarter of 23:38.
Luca also contributed 11 rebounds and 6 assists, and was supported by 24 points from Kyrie Irving and 22 from Tim Hardaway Jr.
Sacramento was led by Dearon Fox with 18 points at a moderate percentage (6 of 18 from the field), while Domantas Sabonis kept the streak going with his 55th double-double (12 points and 11 rebounds along with 9 assists).
