Overview
- Cleveland closed on a 12-0 run to beat Chicago 128-122, its fourth straight win, as Donovan Mitchell scored 29 with 26 after halftime.
- An NBA statement revised the Cavaliers–Wizards result to 148–115 because Tre Johnson’s first free throw in the second quarter was incorrectly logged as missed.
- Nikola Jokic recorded his sixth triple-double in nine games with 32 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists in Denver’s 117-100 win over Indiana despite absences for Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon.
- Two nights earlier, Denver handled Golden State 129-104 with Jokic one rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double while the Warriors were without Stephen Curry.
- Golden State improved to 5-0 at home by routing the short-handed Pacers 114-83, with Jimmy Butler posting 21 points, nine rebounds and seven assists as Curry missed a third straight game due to illness and targeted a Tuesday return in Oklahoma City.
