Post Up: KD Is Not Nice

Thunder 130 (46-22), Celtics 109 (39-29)

Kevin Durant had plenty of good things to say about Boston before the game, and proceeded to tear apart the Celtics later that night. The Celtics were without Jae Crowder and really had no answer KD, who finished with 28 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds in just over three quarters.

Magic 99 (29-38), Hornets 107 (38-29)

Charlotte started off the game cold, but led by as much as 26 in the second half behind 26-point efforts by Marvin Williams and Nicolas Batum.

Mavs 98 (34-34), Cavs 99 (48-19)

With LeBron James out for rest, Kyrie Irving stepped up with a game-high 33 points, and Kevin Love had a double-double with 23 points and 18 boards. Irving also came up with a huge steal to seal the win:
