Batum flirted with a triple-double as Charlotte held on to beat Phoenix 122-115. Batum added 29 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists. Croatian Dragan Bender scored 16 points for the losing side, he helped Phoenix come back in the game in the last quarter, but it was not enough.
In Los Angeles, the Clippers had a final push, controlling the fourth quarter and going on to a 113-105 victory over the Magic. Milos Teodosic added 15 points and seven assists for the winning side. “The thing I love about Milos is, he’s a winner,” Rivers said. “You can feel it. He’s competitive. And in games like these, that’s when he’s at his best. We needed someone to be competitive tonight, and I thought Milos was that.”
