Indiana erase a 22-point, first-half deficit and beat Cleveland 97-95. It’s the Pacers’ third win this season over the three-time defending Eastern Conference champs.
LeBron James had 27 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds and was called for a technical foul after reacting to Stephenson’s jab by shoving him in the chest. Domantas Sabonis with 12 points and 15 rebounds was a key contributor for the Pacers and also got this bucket over the “King”.
In Milwaukee, Giannis Antetokounmpo had 23 points but Kevin Durant scored 26 points and Golden State used a 13-4 run in the fourth quarter to pull away for a 108-94. Here’s their duel.
Atlanta’s German guard Dennis Schroder finished with a career-high 34 points, but after causing matchup problems all night with his ball-handling, he missed his last two layup attempts and committed a game-ending turnover with 5 seconds remaining as the Nets got the 110-105 win.
Latvian Kristaps Porzingis scored 17 points for New York, Turk Enes Kanter had his 18th double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds but Minnesota got the 118-108 win with Serb Nemanja Bjelica scoring 10 points.
Here’s last night’s results and all the Euro-scorers.
