Clippers versus Bucks. The Clippers played away but held overwhelming dominance over Bucks, dominating them on court and steadily widening the gap in the first three quarters. Kawhi Leonard acted as the stabilizing pillar. With the lead continuously expanding, the game was essentially sealed. Although Bucks attempted a comeback in the fourth quarter to narrow the gap, the Clippers' advantage was too great, leaving no chance for opponents. Ultimately, six Clippers players scored double digits, securing a five-game winning streak!

Rockets versus Pelicans. Facing the underdog Pelicans, Rockets didn't gain advantage in the first quarter, ending tied at 29. However, in the second quarter Rockets began controlling the game, while Pelicans suddenly unleashed full firepower, scoring 39-18 to directly extend the lead to double digits. In the second half, Pelicans' offense warmed up and traded blows with Rockets in an open battle, keeping the gap unchanged. In the fourth quarter, Rockets' offense resurged, blooming across the board to thrash Pelicans with a 33-22 score. Finally, with Sengun's high-efficiency output, Rockets crushed Pelicans to claim a major victory!

Knicks versus Thunder. Two powerhouse teams from East and West met in a cool clash, considered a focal battle. The game turned into a tight contest where neither could easily pull away. However, Thunder playing at home clearly benefited, frequently earning free throws—free throw counts were 38-17—making it tough for anyone to overcome. Ultimately, Alexander continued his heroic 20+ performance, erupting in the fourth quarter as Thunder defeated Knicks!

Warriors versus Nuggets. Facing a severely depleted Warriors lineup, Nuggets had poor shooting accuracy in the first half, struggling to open up offense and being suppressed by Warriors, trailing passively. But in the second half Nuggets suddenly found offensive rhythm, bombarding Warriors with a 40-21 quarter to overtake the score. In the fourth quarter Nuggets' attack remained fierce, Warriors were beaten miserably, and eventually the game lost suspense. Nuggets reversed Warriors to secure a six-game winning streak!
