Another night of NBA was played in the USA and 3 games were played. The Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers, Toronto Raptors and Houston Rockets, and New Orleans Pelicans and Denver Nuggets took to the field. Here's how it went.
Away victory for the Indiana Pacers who beat the Sacramento Kings 96-122. Match that was decided in the second half, after the first 24 minutes had ended with a substantial balance, but in the second half the Pacers changed pace and did so despite De'Aaron Fox's 23 points and Domantas Sabonis' 17 points and 21 rebounds .
Success away from home also for the Houston Rockets, who beat the Toronto Raptors 110-114. The first half was Canadian, with the Raptors reaching +16, but in the last quarter Houston dominated, ran away and managed Toronto's reaction towards the end of the match. Ja'Kobe Walter's 27 points, the same ones scored by Dillon Brooks for the Rockets, were not enough for the hosts.
Finally, the Denver Nuggets need overtime to take over the New Orleans Pelicans 129-132. A mockery for NOP, leading almost the entire game, even reaching +17, but which was first overcome twice in the fourth quarter and then surrendered in overtime to a Denver led by the usual Nikola Jokic who finished with 27 points, 10 assists and 13 rebounds.
