The Montenegrin big man scored 34 points, eight straight in a decisive 10-0 fourth-quarter run, and the Magic beat the Knicks 105-100.
“Throughout the game I (felt) good. In the fourth quarter, I know it’s a time when we need to win a game, we needed to close the game,” Vucevic said. “So, I wanted to keep my aggressiveness and carry my team (until) the end.” French guard Evan Fournier added 20 points for the winners.
Russell Westbrook had his seventh triple-double of the season to help the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the short-handed San Antonio Spurs 90-87. Westbrook had 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the Thunder, who won their second straight. Tony Parker was not used in the game by the Spurs and Latvian Davis Bertans registered a season high with 16 points for the losing side, while also reaching a historic milestone for the franchise.
Eurobasket champ Goran Dragic scored 20 points for Miami. However, Stephen Curry scored 30 points in 30 minutes, Kevin Durant added 24 and the Golden State Warriors rode a big third-quarter run to pull away and beat the Miami Heat 123-95.
