The Greek Freak scored 35 points and the Milwaukee Bucks snapped a four-game losing streak, scoring 36 points off the Philadelphia 76ers‘ season-high 26 turnovers in a 118-110 victory. Croatian forward Dario Saric scored 25 points for the losing side.

Skal Labissiere sank a 3-pointer with 1.6 seconds left and the Sacramento Kings held on to beat the New York Knicks 102-99 with Bogdan Bogdanovic scoring 22 points and making a 20-foot stepback shot to put the Kings up 99-97. Bogdanovic also dished seven assists. Turk Enes Kanter had 14 points and 16 rebounds for the Knicks.

Spaniard Nikola Mirotic scored 24 points in a rare start and the New Orleans Pelicans won their eighth in a row, 126-109 over the Dallas Mavericks. German legend Dirk Nowitzki scored 23 points for the losing side and once more he made history.
