Chicago was defeated in Houston - 117:114, although Nikola Vučević played an excellent 29 minutes. The Montenegrin center, who missed seven games due to injury, scored 15 points with seven rebounds and three assists and shot 4-3 from three-point range.
However, Houston is the better team at the moment and managed to win, thanks to the brilliant play of Jaylen Green with 28 points, but also Alperen Shengun, who had a double-double of 24 points and 15 rebounds.
And Nikola Jokić and Shai Gilges-Alexander are still fighting for the regular season MVP title. The Canadian's Oklahoma City team won in Detroit with 48 points from Gilges-Alexander, although the home team threatened to send Cade Cunningham off for two technical fouls in the third quarter.
And Jokic's Denver was defeated by Washington, the worst team in the NBA.
Although Jokic lacked an assist for a triple-double (40 points, 13 rebounds), Jordan Poole crushed the Nuggets with three-pointers in the final stretch, and he hit the last one with 1,8 seconds left to win.
Steph Curry turned 37, but Golden State still depends on his points - the Warriors beat New Orleans and Golden State has lost only one game since the Jimmy Butler trade. Butler was not in the shooting mood but had six rebounds and seven assists
