Philadelphia blew Boston away in style (103:71), and Nikola Vucevic once again confirmed that the Sixers management made the right move when they chose him as the 16th pick in the draft.
In less than 30 minutes, the Montenegrin representative recorded 14 points (15-7 field goal shooting), 12 rebounds, an assist, a block, a steal and a turnover.
Evan Turner was the most effective in the winning team with 26 points, while Paul Pierce (16) was the least bad among the Celts.
Without the injured Nikola Peković, Minnesota defeated the direct competitor for the playoffs, Portland (106:94), and tied for 8th place in the West with Houston.
The strange season of the LA Lakers got another unexpected plot - even though they had a 21-point advantage, the "lakers" lost in the capital to one of the worst teams in the league, Washington, with 106:101.
The great turnaround of the "wizards", who lost 76:55 in the third quarter, was led by Nick Young with 19 hits and Trevor Booker, who had 18 points and 17 rebounds.
The audience called Kobe Bryant MVP because of his great actions in the first half, but he was also one of the reasons for the defeat - although he finished the match with 30 points, he shot 10-1 from the field in the last quarter.
