A play by Luka Doncic (Reuters)
After several crazy hours until the arrival of the Trade Dead Line, the NBA also continued to play basketball, when in addition to the game between Washington and Brooklyn, six more games were played. At the center was, of course, one and only Luca Doncic.
Dallas (23:33) – Los Angeles Clippers (30:27) 105: 112
Luca Doncic, and every other word is superfluous. But we will try anyway: the Slovenian celebrated at the expense of the gang from City of Angels with a tremendous career record of 51 points, and was only two times away from Dirk Nowitzki’s club record. The Mavericks guard dominated what was going on throughout the 48 minutes and in the shadow of Christopher Forzingis’ departure for Washington, led the team from Texas to a fourth straight win, adding nine rebounds and six assists. On the other hand, the guest is already counting three losses in a row. The Mavericks ran for a 17-point lead during the third quarter, but 7 minutes to the end the Clippers did not say desperate and shrank to 97:94. Unfortunately for the guests, they did not get any closer than that.
Houston (40:15) – Toronto (23:31) 139: 120
The Canadian team is without a doubt the hottest team in the league right now, and that fact is reflected on the floor in Texas with a great offensive performance, which has secured it its eighth straight win and ninth in its last ten games. On the other hand, the locals have become the third team in the league to record the unflattering figure of 40 losses. The Raptors’ escape began towards the end of the third quarter, when in the last 12 minutes there was no doubt who would celebrate at the end. Gary Trent Jr. fired with 42 points, Pascal Siacom added 30. Kevin Porter Jr. led the loser with 30 of his own.
New Orleans (33:22) – Miami (20:36) 112: 97
Another team that is in good shape in the East is the Florida team, which celebrated a fourth straight victory and climbed to first place at the expense of champion Milwaukee. The host, on the other hand, was halted after four wins but is still in the play-in picture in the West. 3:18 minutes to go the Pelicans were still in the picture when they trailed 105: 97, but at this point the heat raised the level of intensity in defense and until the last buzzer the locals were unable to produce more points. Jimmy Butler and Am Adbayo led the winner with 29 points each, Kyle Laurie recorded a triple-double that included 14 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.

Detroit (43:12) – Memphis (18:39) 132: 107
The wandering show of Ja Morant and his teammates arrived in Detroit and did not stop after the Grizzlies celebrated a seventh win in their last eight games and continued to be defeated in third place in the West. On the hostess really there is not too much to expand. The story of this game was over at the end of the first quarter, which the guest finished with a 19:41 advantage. Morant finished as usual as the leading scorer with 23 points.
