Paul George and Montrezl Harrell together shot down 57 points, but only two of the rest of the team scored double-digit points (11 for both Landry Shamet and Patrick Patterson).

Miami Heat 122-118 Dallas Mavericks

Luka Doncic played less than two minutes for Dallas before he sprained his ankle and went back to the locker room. Fortunately, X-rays were negative. Coach Rick Carlisle said he did not expect the 20-year-old young star to play in the game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday.

Miami saw six of their players reach double digits in scoring. Jimmy Butler had team-high 27 points while Bam Adebayo put down a triple-double of 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. One-year rookie shooter Tyler Herro buried three 3-pointers to get 19 points.

Brooklyn Nets 102-110 Toronto Raptors

This was already Toronto's 34th consecutive home victory over the team from the Atlantic Division and that set a new NBA record. The last time Toronto lost the team from the same division happened on November 10, 2015 when they lost to the Knicks 111-109.

Though Pascal Siakam dropped game-high 30 points to help the Raptors win, his incredible 25-point performance in the first half was followed by only five points in the second half, an indicator that the 25-year-old forward still needs to work on his steadiness.

Cleveland Cavaliers 108-125 Milwaukee Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 29 points to help Milwaukee claim their 18th straight win. This was the second-longest winning-streak in their franchise history after the 20 straight wins in the 1970-71 season. By the way, Milwaukee won the NBA championship that season.

Eighteen wins in a row were also the 10th-longest winning-streak record in the NBA. The New York Knicks from 1969-70, the Boston Celtics from 1981-82 and the Bulls from 1995-96 all enjoyed the same record.

Washington Wizards 111-128 Memphis Grizzlies

Both teams have a Japanese player – Rui Hachimura of Washington and Yuta Watanabe of Memphis. Nonetheless, this game was far from a real Japanese derby. Hachimura scored 10 points and four rebounds while Watanabe only got three rebounds.

Bradley Beal put down 29 points and 10 rebounds for the Wizards but him alone could not stop the Grizzlies that shot at 57.14-percent field goal rate and 40.74-percent 3-point rate. Dillon Brooks had Grizzlies' highest 27 points. One-year rookie guard Ja Morant got 18 points and five assists.
