Lakers vs. Hawks. The Lakers came into this game riding a five-game winning streak and faced a depleted Hawks squad on the road. Unexpectedly, the Lakers stumbled as the Hawks’ bench players, eager to prove themselves, exploded with impressive energy. The Hawks spread their scoring across multiple players, steadily pulling away and ending the game’s suspense early. Ultimately, seven Hawks players scored in double figures to overwhelm the Lakers, snapping their five-game streak. Luka Doncic scored 22 points but it was in vain!

Trail Blazers vs. Heat. This game was a tightly contested battle with both teams evenly matched. The lead switched back and forth, and the intense fight continued until the final decisive moments. Wiggins contributed both offensively and defensively to help the Heat hold on for the win, while the Trail Blazers missed key shots and Sharp was caught out on defense. Despite the loss, the Trail Blazers played well, matching any opponent evenly with their high pace and effort!

Pelicans vs. Spurs. The Pelicans entered this game on a two-game winning streak and looked strong. However, the Spurs’ hot form posed a big challenge. The game was competitive and back-and-forth, but with Wembanyama dominating inside and Fox returning to provide relentless scoring, the Spurs could rely on key plays in clutch moments. Ultimately, eight Spurs players scored in double digits to secure a solid victory over the Pelicans!

Pacers vs. Nuggets. The Nuggets have been playing well recently, riding a winning streak. Hosting the Pacers, whose main players have been absent this season, turning them into a struggling team with only one win in eight games, the Nuggets had little trouble securing the win. With Jokic’s efficient and steady triple-double performance and strong bench firepower, the Nuggets dominated both ends of the floor, quickly pulling away. Five Nuggets players scored in double figures as they comfortably handled the Pacers, extending their winning streak to four games!

Suns vs. Clippers. The home team Clippers started cold, missing many shots, especially from beyond the arc, allowing the Suns to control the offense. By halftime, the Suns led by double digits. In the second half, the Clippers found their rhythm and began a comeback, with Harden orchestrating the offense and gradually cutting into the lead. After three quarters, the Clippers still trailed by five. The final quarter turned into a tug-of-war, but the Suns hit crucial three-pointers to regain control. The Clippers lacked enough firepower to close the gap and ultimately lost to the Suns, suffering their fourth consecutive defeat!
