Ninth victory in the last 13 games - this time without two important assets, Nikola Vucevic and Zak Lavin, who were resting due to minor injuries.

Chicago is still in a great rhythm, and last night in the NBA league they defeated Atlanta with 118:113.

Before the game, Bulls coach Billy Donovan explained that Vucevic will miss this match due to problems with his groin and hip, and for the first time, one of the better NBA centers, Andre Drummond, was in the red jersey.

The guy who shone in Detroit's jersey and was also an All Star player in those years replaced our center phenomenally and with 24 points and even 25 rebounds was a key player in Chicago's victory.

Apart from him, DeMar DeRozan with 25 points and six assists, Kobe White, Ayo Dosumu (19 points each), Alex Caruso with 11 and Jevon Carter with 10 points were excellent.

Bogdan Bogdanović was the most effective for the "Hawks" with 22 points, while Trey Young scored 21 points and had 13 assists, after equaling Oscar Robertson's record of seven consecutive games in which he had at least 30 points and 10 assists.

Drummond's former club Detroit was once again in the spotlight - again in a negative way.

The club from Michigan set the NBA record for the number of consecutive losses in one season - as many as 27, after losing to Brooklyn with 112:118.

The Nets were led by Cameron Johnson with 24 points, Mikel Bridges with 21 points and Cam Thomas with 17 points. In the Detroit team, Cade Cunningham was the most effective with 41 points, Bojan Bogdanović scored 23, and Jalen Darren scored 12 points with 15 rebounds.

The record for the total number of consecutive losses (28) is held by Philadelphia, and its streak began in the 2014/15 season and continued in the 2015/16 season.

After overtime, Memphis defeated New Orleans 116:115 and achieved the fourth consecutive victory since Ja Morant returned to the team. He finished the game with 31 points and seven assists, Desmond Bane with 27 points and seven assists, and Jaren Jackson with 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Brandon Ingram with 24 points, seven assists and six rebounds, Zion Williamson with 23 points with 11 rebounds and Jonas Valanciunas with 17 points with 13 rebounds were the most effective in the team from New Orleans, which suffered its second consecutive defeat.

In other games, Orlando beat Washington 127:119 and inflicted its fourth loss in the last five games, while Indiana beat Houston to end its three-game losing streak.

Portland defeated Sacramento 130:113, Los Angeles Clippers were better than Charlotte 113:104, and Utah was led by Lauri Markanen who had 31 points and 12 rebounds, beat San Antonio 130:118 and achieved the sixth victory in the last eight match.
