A new Chicago, with a large number of traded players and without Nikola Vučević, lost to Denver at their United Center - 136:120 (39:36, 20:26, 38:38, 39:16).
The Nuggets snapped a three-game losing streak on Nikola Jokić's historic night, and Somborac delivered a basketball lesson - a slow-paced triple-double. With 22 points (7/12 from the field, 2/2 for three, 6/6 from the field), 17 assists and 14 rebounds, he surpassed the legendary Oscar Robertson and now has 182 games in which he has recorded double-digit performance in three major statistical categories.
Only former teammate Russell Westbrook remained ahead of him with 207 such performances. Joklić also had four blocks.
And "baby Jokić" - Turkish and Houston center Alperen Sengun - also recorded a triple-double with 17 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, and his team inflicted Oklahoma's 13th defeat - 112:106.
Kevin Durant and Tarry Eason scored late points to lead their team to victory over Oklahoma City, which was playing without MVP Shai Gilges-Alexander, who has an abdominal muscle injury.
Oklahoma is in first place in the West with 40 wins and 13 losses, while Houston is in fourth place with a record of 32-19.
In the rest of the season, Houston welcomes the Los Angeles Clippers, while Oklahoma City plays host to the Lakers.
The Lakers are slowly gaining momentum! Despite the absence of Luka Dončić, the team from Los Angeles recorded its third consecutive victory, defeating Golden State on its home court - 105:99.
James played great again against the Warriors who didn't care about Steph Curry. King James finished the match with 20 points, seven rebounds and ten assists, although he also had significant support from Rui Hachimura, who added 18 points on a field goal percentage of 70 percent (7/10).
The Hornets are the hit, and Charlotte has tied its ninth triumph. For the first time in this millennium, as they had such a result in the 1998/1999 season.
But the Texas derby went to San Antonio against Dallas with an unreal performance from Stephon Castle - 40 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists and he had 79% shooting from the field (15/19).
The only player who had 19 shots and over 75 percent success rate before Castle was the legendary Wilt Chamberlain, with Castle achieving such a feat in just 32 minutes of play.
