The unstoppable Celticsreached the nine-game winning streak by beating me 124-113 in Chicago despite the absences of Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis. Jayson Tatum had 26 points, Sam Hauser added another 23 on 7/8 three-pointers, while Al Horford had as many as 5/10 from behind 7.25m. for the team with the best record in NBA (57-14). DeMar DeRozan had 28 points for ninth in East Chicago.
The Nuggets they showed that they can manage without their two best players. The champs edged Portland 114-111 though Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray were absent. Reggie Jackson had 23 and Aaron Gordon had 22 points for Denver, as the Blazers became just the second team since the 1971-72 season to start in the top five with only a rookie. Duop Rith with 24 and Scott Henderson with 22 points stood out.
The Kings beat the Magic 109-107 in Orlando with 21 points and 14 rebounds from Domantas Sabonis who had his 53rd double-double streak this year. This tied Kevin Love’s record from 2010/11, which is the most since the NBA and ABA in 1973.
However, the Chance remain marginally sixth in the West, ahead of Sacramento, after the 131-106 win over the Spurs. Devin Booker and Kevin Durant had 32 and 25 points, respectively. Victor Webanyama was in the shallows for San Antonio with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 turnovers.
