Come tutti i grandi anche Kevin Durant splende in quel del Madison Square Garden: 36 punti, tripla che manda tutti al supplementare e 4 punti consecutivi nell’OT che regalano il successo sui Knicks di un super McGrady da 26 punti (Gallinari 7). Chicago asfalta i Sixers, Dallas in scioltezza sugli Heat (ancora privi di Wade). John Salmons esordisce col botto (19 punti) e regala un importante successo ai suoi Bucks sui Bobcats, bene i Pacers che espugnano Houston con Kevin Martin da 14 punti. Ok anche i Raptors del Mago (18 punti) senza Bosh e i Clippers sui Kings.
