Denver Nuggets-Boston Celtics 104-124
–
The Celtics (44-28) dominate at Jokic, winning for the eighth time in the last 10 games played. This time they shoot with 57%, Tatum and Brown score 30 points each, they contain the Joker who shoots just 8/23 from the field and makes post-game self-criticism. The greens are getting closer to Philadelphia and Milwaukee, which are now very close to them in the ranking of the East. The Nuggets (42-30) are suddenly in trouble. They lose for the fourth time in their last six games and slip to seventh place in the West, overtaken by Minnesota. Coach Malone was so angry with him that he started the owners from the bench in the second half, punishing them for the too soft approach to the game.

Golden State Warriors-San Antonio Spurs 108-110
–
Resounding internal defeat of the Warriors. Absolutely and in the ways. Poeltl equalized the game with the first free throw with 2 ”to play, then missed the second and Keldon Johnson gave the Spurs (28-44) the offensive rebound victory basket. On the siren Thompson fails the reply. The Warriors (47-24) discover how complicated life is without the injured Curry, in the first game of absence after injuring his left foot. The Californians lose despite Poole’s 28 points, committing 15 turnovers that give 22 points to the Texans.

Sacramento Kings-Phoenix Suns 124-127 dts
–
Nothing to do: the Suns (58-14) just “can’t” to lose. Not even without Paul, not even under 49-59 at half-time, not even with Booker who ends up in extra time for fouls. Shamet takes care, this time, to score the decisive triple. Fifth consecutive success for Phoenix, therefore, while Sacramento (25-48) mercifully sees the end of another season to be forgotten, yet another one.

Philadelphia 76ers-Toronto Raptors 88-93
–
Sixth consecutive away win for the Raptors (40-31), who remain in the wake of Cleveland for sixth place in the East which is worth direct access to the playoffs. They fold Philly (43-27) keeping her at 41% from the field, and limiting Embiid and especially Harden, forced to 6 turnovers and who messes up in the final sprint, unusually mistaking even free throws. For the boys of Coach Nurse, without Van Vleet, Siakam’s 26 points are enough, despite shooting under 38% of the team.
Philadelphia:Embiid 21 (6/17, 0/3, 9/11 tl), Maxey 19, Harden 17. Rebounds: Embiid 13. Assist: Harden 8.

Orlando Magic-Oklahoma City Thunder 90-85
–
Ninth defeat in a row by the Thunder (20-51) also folded by Orlando, who also has the second worst record in the East, 19-53. Carter sports 30 points, his career high, and the 10 scored in the last quarter make the difference.
