For Orlando it was the 23rd victory in the 43rd game of the season in the North American professional league and an important one in the race for direct play-off participation: Orlando is in eighth place in the East. Miami, for whom Bam Adebayo was the best scorer with 22 points, is still in sixth place with 24:19 victories, which would mean a place in the championship round.
Thanks to a great comeback, the Los Angeles Clippers (27:14) with Daniel Theis are still comfortably on course for the play-offs in fourth place in the Western Conference. LA won against the Brooklyn Nets 125:114 and turned an 18-point deficit in the final quarter. The Clippers scored 41 points in the final period alone. Theis contributed a total of eight points and three rebounds.
At the top of the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics remain the strongest team in the NBA with a record of 33 wins and 10 defeats. The Houston Rockets scored 116:107 on Sunday evening. Nikola Jokic was particularly impressive. With his season-high of 42 points, the Serb led the reigning champions Denver Nuggets to a 113-104 win over the Washington Wizards. Denver (30:14) is third in the West.
