DeMar DeRozan (35/2/0) was sensational, going 11-of-15 from the floor and 13-for-15 from the free throw line in an efficient outing. The Raptors also shot 52.6 percent from the field in the victory. While Willy Hernangomez (24/11/5) turned in an excellent performance for New York, playing without Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Rose and Kristaps Porzingis hurt them.

Hawks (42-38) 126, Cavaliers (51-29) 125

Atlanta shockingly erased a 26-point deficit, outscoring Cleveland 44-18 in the fourth quarter alone. Paul Millsap (22/9/2) made a buzzer-beater to force overtime at the end of regulation. In the loss, Kyrie Irving (45/2/9) went 16-of-30 shooting and LeBron James (32/16/10) had a triple-double, but King James fouled out in the overtime period, thus giving the Hawks the advantage.

Thunder (46-34) 106, Nuggets (38-42) 105

Russell Westbrook (50/16/10) was the star of the afternoon, recording his NBA-record 42nd triple-double of the season. Going 17-for-32 shooting, Westbrook hit a desperation shot at the buzzer to win it for OKC. That shot also ended Denver’s playoff hopes in front of their home fans. Danilo Gallinari (34/10/3) led the Nuggets in scoring in the loss.

Suns (24-57) 124, Mavericks (32-48) 111

For the second-straight game, Boban Marjanovic (14/10/0) outplayed starting center Andre Drummond (5/11/2) for the Pistons. All 10 Pistons to take the court played over 20 minutes in the balanced effort. Mike Conley (15/2/3) and Marc Gasol (13/2/5) only played 24 and 23 minutes respectively and the Grizzlies scored only 10 points in the third quarter as a team in the defeat.
