Current champions, the Celtics, easily beat Giannis' Milwaukee, while the Nuggets noted their first win only after extra time
The previous night in the NBA league was pretty interesting given that as many as eleven games were played. Still, they did not spring many team surprises as individual ones. First and foremost, LeBron James put in his worst performance since January, scoring only 11 points for his Los Angeles Lakers in a 109-105 defeat against the Phoenix Suns. Interestingly, nine months ago he scored ten points against the same rival.
