Murray, averaging 24.6 points this season, solidifies himself as the second key figure alongside Nikola Jokic, who contributed a double-double of 28 points and 11 rebounds. Despite the Hornets taking the lead in the third quarter, Denver responded with a 58-point second half, securing the victory at the Spectrum Center.

Knicks Shine at Home Without Towns

The New York Knicks defended their territory at Madison Square Garden, defeating the Orlando Magic 106-100, despite the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns due to left calf discomfort. Jalen Brunson led the attack with 30 points and nine assists, while Josh Hart achieved a valuable double-double of 17 points and 12 rebounds.

We play paying attention to the details.

The victory left the Knicks’ home record at 13-1, their best home start since the 1992-93 season. Orlando suffered the loss of their star Franz Wagner, who was injured in his left leg.

Celtics Overcome Raptors After Comeback

Toronto, with a 34-10 run between the third and fourth quarters, took the lead, but Boston readjusted its defense in time.

You’re not always going to play at the highest level.
