Atlanta Hawks 123 - 122 Boston Celtics
Dejounte Murray scored a career-high 44 points and hit the game-winning shot in overtime as the Atlanta Hawks stunned the Boston Celtics with a 123-122 victory. The Celtics, who have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the East, couldn't handle Murray's scoring outburst, despite Jayson Tatum's 31-point performance. Atlanta has won four straight games, matching their longest streak of the season, and is fighting for a spot in the play-in tournament. The Hawks played without key players like Trae Young and still managed to pull off a thrilling win over the top team in the East.
New Orleans Pelicans 107 - 100 Milwaukee Bucks
Zion Williamson scored 28 points and hit crucial free throws in the final minutes to secure a 107-100 win for the New Orleans Pelicans over the Milwaukee Bucks. Despite struggling with their 3-point shooting, the Pelicans led for most of the game, with CJ McCollum and Jonas Valanciunas contributing solid performances. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 35 points and 14 rebounds for the Bucks, but Williamson's defensive efforts were noted. New Orleans outscored Milwaukee in the paint and on free throws, with the Bucks struggling to keep up with the Pelicans' aggressive play. The Pelicans will host Boston next, while the Bucks will visit Atlanta.
