Vucevic 22 points, Fournier decided against Detroit in the last second, Lakers' revenge

Montenegrin basketball player Nikola Vucevic scored 22 points in Orlando's 109:107 victory over Detroit last night.

Orlando achieved its 16th victory of the season with a goal by Evan Fournier in the last second of the match.

DJ Augustin was the most effective in the winning team with 26 points, while Aaron Gordon and Vucevic scored 22.

For the Pistons, Luke Kennard scored 16, Blake Griffin and Bullock each had 15, and Andre Drummond scored 14 points with 15 rebounds.

The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Sacramento Kings 121:114 on their floor in a match played on the night between Sunday and Monday.

Sacramento led at halftime 68:64, and the Kings had a 10-point advantage in the third quarter, but the Lakers, who again played without LeBron James, returned to parity.

In the last quarter, Sacramento led again - they were up seven with four and a half minutes left.

However, after two offensive rebounds, the Lakers hit a three-pointer through Brandon Ingram for a 113:110 lead with two minutes left in the match.

The Kings continued to miss, so the home team closed the game. Bogdan Bogdanović was on the court in the last three minutes of the match, but he did not take shots.

Kentavious Caldwell Pope was the best for the Lakers with 26 points, and Josh Hart added 22.

With Sacramento, Dearon Fox was the most effective with 26 points, while Serbian basketball player Bogdan Bogdanović scored 21 points with five rebounds and four assists.

The Lakers thus took revenge on the Kings for the defeat three days ago when Bogdanović scored a three-pointer against the team from Los Angeles with the sound of the siren.

Dallas Mavericks defeated Oklahoma City Thunder 105:103.

In Dallas, Luka Dončić was the most effective with 25 points and seven assists, while Harrison Barnes scored 16 points.

At Oklahoma, the best player was Paul George, who scored 36 points. The big disappointment was Russell Westbrook who had just nine points on 4/22 shooting.

It's the second time this season that Russell has scored in single figures, the previous time he had eight points in a win against Utah.

Portland was convincing against Philadelphia - 129:95.

That the Trail Blazers will achieve their 21st victory could have been predicted already after the first half.

At the big break, they led the game 70:41, and further increased that advantage.

CJ McCollum had 35 points in this match with 13/18 shooting from the field, while Jusuf Nurkic added 14 points. Ben Simmons scored 19 points for the Sixers.
