Along with the interesting games in the battles for the top of the West, in the NBA East, where it can be said that this season is less interesting, we still got some good games tonight (between Tuesday and Wednesday), when in the center of Milwaukee managed to inflict on Boston its 17th loss of the season but also saw Giannis Antetokounmpo is down with a worrisome injury, while New York moved closer to securing at least third place entering the playoffs.
Milwaukee (31:48) – Boston (17:62) 91:104
The Bucks recorded a very important and impressive home win over the Celtics, but also saw Antetokounmpo suffer a very worrying injury in the third quarter of the game with a calf strain. After the fight, Doc Rivers, the coach of Milwaukee, informed that he is very concerned about the injury of the Greek who was taken for an MRI both in the area where he was injured and in the Achilles tendon.
In the game itself, before being injured, Yanis scored 15 points along with 8 rebounds and 7 assists. The one who led the Bucks to victory was Patrick Beverly with 20 points and 9 rebounds, Brook Lopez added 15 and so did Bobby Portis. In the ranks of Boston it was Jayson Tatum who finished with 22. This game will also be remembered as having one of the strangest and most unusual records the NBA has ever known: there were only two free throws (!), only one of them went in, and the player who had the honor of being the only one sent to the line in this contest was Antetokounmpo.

Chicago (42:37) – New York (32:47) 128:117
The Knicks are only one game away from the Bucks and maybe with Antetokounmpo’s injury they will also be able to pass them until the end of the season when they have 3 games left. It was an important win for the team from New York after they lost their star, Julius Randle, to injury. In his absence, Jaylen Brunson excelled with 45 points and OJ Anonovy added 24. The Bulls gave a fight on their home court thanks to 34 by DeMar DeRozan and hope to record a successful play-in.
Toronto (54:25) – Indiana (34:46) 140:123
The Pacers took a big step toward securing the sixth and final spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs with a road win over the Raptors. Tyrese Halliburton led his teammates with 30 points, Obi Toffin added 23, while Pascal Sicam finished with 16 against the former. Indiana has two games left in the regular season and has a one game lead over Philadelphia.
Philadelphia (35:45) – Detroit (66:13) 102:120
Joel Embiid continued his smooth return to the floor after the knee injury and finished this time with 37 points and 11 rebounds. The Sixers will try to steal the place in the playoffs in the two games they have left until the end of the season when the schedule of games arranges a meeting with Orlando, who leads them by a game and a half.
Charlotte (60:19) – Dallas (30:49) 130:104
An important and smooth victory for the Mavs on the way to the playoffs after Luka Doncic swept his friends with a great triple double of 39 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. In doing so, Dallas recorded 15 wins from their last 17 games and is in fifth place in the West. Daniel Gafford finished with 26 points and Kyrie Irving with 18 by the side of the Slovenian.
