Boston wins top NBA game against Brooklyn Nets

The hosts also played for the first time since his knee injury without their star Kevin Durant, who, according to US media, will be absent for at least two weeks. The injured Jaylen Brown was absent from the Celtics.

Nets pro Kyrie Irving was the top pitcher with 24 points, while Jayson Tatum had 20 points for the Celtics, who are now top of the East with 31 wins and 12 losses. The Nets remain second because the Milwaukee Bucks lost their game to the Miami Heat 102-108 and couldn’t close the gap.

»Mavs« defeat Schröder and the LA Lakers

In the final game of the day, the Dallas Mavericks clinched a hard-fought 119-115 double overtime win over the Los Angeles Lakers. The Texans were already leading by 19 points against the team led by national player Dennis Schröder, but fell behind in the final quarter and were lucky when the clock ran out that the referees overlooked an obvious foul on the Lakers’ last shot.

Led by Luka Doncic, who ended the evening with 35 points, after the last two defeats, it was still enough for success in California. “He hit two fierce threes to send the game into overtime. We might have defended it differently,” said Schröder of the German Press Agency. “But those are two tough shots he hit.” Russell Westbrook had 28 points for the Lakers. Schröder had seven points, six assists and four rebounds.
