It’s no secret that the Celtics are having a difficult season, it can even be defined as disappointing. But the qualities of Brad Stevens’ roster are indisputable. Tonight we saw the same qualities in the win over the Bucks. Boston actually interrupted Milwaukee’s eight-game winning streak.

Jason Taitum led the scoring with 34 points and Marcus Smart added 23 (7 of 10 for three). After a 55:60 lead at the break, the visitors sewed nine threes in the third quarter and opened up a 14-point gap at the end of 36 minutes (89: 103), which eventually helped them record the W. Kamba Walker added 21 and Jaylen Brown 18. The story of the game for Boston was the defense of Yannis Endocombo, who was limited to just 16 points (season average of 28.6). Chris Middleton led the loser with 19.

Blake Griffin played for the first time against the Exiles since the trade, and was excellent with 17 points, but the story, as usual with the Bents, was James Harden passionate with 44 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists, in a game that included a lot of free throws (81 for both teams). Technical offenses and nerves. The Pistons made no concessions to Griffin, and already in the first half Isaiah Stewart was sent off after intentionally hitting the veteran player in the head. The two clashed, Griffin won a technical and a Detroit player, as mentioned, finished his part in the contest.

In a 82-82 tie in the fourth quarter, a Griffin three-pointer started a 0:10 run to Brooklyn, but Detroit did not give up and managed to equalize to 106-106. With 3.3 seconds left to play the Pistons could still win or send the tackle to overtime, but Corey Joseph missed after penetrating the basket. Jeremy Grant led the locals with 19 points.

The 18th consecutive home win for the hottest jazz. Donovan Mitchell balled with 35 points, Rudy Guber added 25 and 9 rebounds, Bojan Bogdanovich 17 and Jordan Clarkson 14. JA Morant scored 30 and gave up 11 assists for the Grizzlies, Dillon Brooks 22, Grayson Allen 17 and Jonas Valencionas 14 and 18 rebounds.

Like Detroit, Memphis could have forced overtime or won, but Brooks missed a three in the final offense, followed by a midfield ball taken by Mike Conley. The two groups will meet again tonight.

When the Mavericks play without Luka Doncic it’s usually not forces, and that’s exactly what happened tonight. The Pacers equaled a club record with 20 threes, opened a gap as early as the first half and did not look back. Domantas Savonis (15 rebounds) and Malcolm Brogdon scored 22 points each. Fourth win in five games for the visitors.

In the absence of Doncic, who is back injured, Kristaps Forzingis was the standout with 31 points and a season-high 18 rebounds. Tim Hardway Jr. added 16. Dallas still managed to shrink to 84:80 early in the fourth quarter, but Indiana ran 2:14 and closed out a story.

A great comeback for the Nuggets, who were already 11 points behind in the final quarter but closed out the tackle with an 8:24 run. Nikola Jukic was fantastic with 37 points and 9 assists, Michael Porter Jr. contributed 25 and Jamal Marie 23 and 11 assists.

Zion Williamson finished another monstrous game with 39 points on a very good percentage (16 from 19 from the field), and also added 10 rebounds, but Brandon Ingram was bad (13 points on 5 from 17 from the field) after Porter Jr. paralyzed him , Unlike the previous meeting between the teams earlier this week, when Ingram scored 30 and New Orleans won.

The 30th win of the season for the surprising Suns, who achieved it this time despite a terrible offensive game in the last quarter. Phoenix actually scored just two shots from its last 14 attempts in the tackle, and did not score at all from the field in the last three and a half minutes. Luckily, the Raptors failed to take advantage of this and lost for the ninth time in ten games.

Diandra Eyton (9 rebounds) and Chris Paul (8 assists) were the hosts’ standout scorers with 19 points, Devin Booker added 16. Pascal Siakam scored 26 for Toronto along with 11 rebounds and 6 assists, Fred and Anavlit added 22 (6 of 15 for three ).

After qualifying for the NBA Finals last season, 2020/21 is not the season of the hit: tonight Eric Spolstra’s team recorded its sixth straight loss. Charlotte, surprising, it must be said, received 32 points from Malik Monk off the bench, 26 and 11 assists (career highs) Metri Rogers and 16 from Devonta Graham, including two critical free throws, to win.

Charlotte already led by almost 30 points in the first half, going down to the break with a 49:72 lead. Miami fought back, running 2:15 in the fourth quarter to narrow the gap to just four thanks to points from Bam Adbaio and Duncan Robinson. Tyler Hiro even managed to drop to three points after penetrating the basket with 6.6 seconds left in the game, but Graham withstood the pressure from the line and won. Jimmy Butler scored 20 points and handed out 9 assists to the visitors.

A 10:28 third quarter set the champion a first win after four straight losses, stopping the negative momentum since LeBron James’ injury. In the absence of Anthony Davis and James, Monterz Harrell took command and finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds, Dennis Schroeder ran the game and contributed a diverse stat line of 17 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 steals, and Horton-Tucker added 15 And Markif Morris 13.

The Lakers won even though they scored just six threes by 23 percent. Cleveland scored even less (5 threes at 19 percent). Larry Nance Jr. led the loser with 17 points and 10 rebounds.
