Chicago had no chance against a spirited Miami in the NBA Cup match that took place on the night between Friday and Saturday.

The Bulls lost 143:107 at their United Center, and as many as eight Heat players had double-digit performances.

It was the Bulls' most convincing defeat of the season, but also the fourth game with 140 or more points for the team from Florida.

Nikola Vučević didn't have his night, nor did the rest of the team, so in 21 minutes on the floor he had six points, four rebounds and three assists.

The most efficient player for the guests was Kyllil Ware with 20 points, Norman Powell scored 19, and Bam Adebayo 18...

Nikola Jokić led Denver to a 112:109 victory in Houston.

He missed an assist for his 10th triple-double of the season - he finished the match with 34 points, 24 of which came in the second half, and 10 steals.

Reed Shepard had a career high for the Rockets with 27...

The first pick in this year's draft, Cooper Flagg, also achieved a career high.

He led Dallas to a triumph over New Orleans (118:115) and finished the match with 29 goals, seven rebounds and five assists.

Phoenix made a big turnaround by defeating Minnesota in Arizona (114:113) even though they were trailing 113:105 with 59 seconds left.

Anthony Edwards then missed both free throws with a 113:112 lead, and Colin Gillespie brought the Suns the victory...

Defending champion Oklahoma easily won Salt Lake City - outclassing Utah 144:112, with 31 points and eight assists from Shai Gilges-Alexander.
