SIXERS 107 – CELTICS 110
The match between the best team in the East (Boston) and the third (Philadelphia) ended with an epic triple by Tatum, who had not had his best day until then (18 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists) in a Celtics led by Jaylen Brown (26 points).
Joel Embiid he shone for the Sixers with 41 points and 12 rebounds and left, with Tatum’s permission, the image of the night when he hit a three-pointer from about 25 meters and on the buzzer to have sent the game to overtime but that incredible shot came only a few tenths late out of time.
GRIZZLIES 112 – NUGGETS 94
With a great second quarter (38-22), the Grizzlies quickly laid the foundation for a solid victory against some Nuggets that they had won five of their last six games but were already trailing by 29 points before the break.
Six Memphis players surpassed 10 points with Ja Morant leading the way (23 points and 7 rebounds) while Nikola Jokic was the best for Denver (15 points and 13 rebounds).
The Spanish Santi Aldama contributed 5 points, 6 rebounds and an assist for the Grizzlies.

PISTONS 91 – RAPTORS 95
