Col jumper a fil di sirena Carmelo Anthony affonda i Toronto Raptors degli eccellenti italiani (Bargnani 14+15 e Beli 11) e tiene i Nuggets davanti ai Jazz nella lotta al 2° posto ad Ovest, Jazz sconfitti a sorpresa ad Indiana grazie al career-high di Danny Granger (44 punti). Durant e i suoi Thunder passeggiano sui Lakers di un Bryant sottotono (11 punti e 4/11 dal campo) mentre Manu Ginobili (30 punti) guida gli Spurs sui Cavaliers. I Nets vincono d’orgoglio sui Pistons con Yi e Lopez superlativi (31 e 37 punti) e adesso sono a una sola vittoria per salvare l’onore e la faccia, bene Philadelphia sugli Hawks e Boston sui Kings. Sconfitte consecutive numero 14 e 15 per Wizards e T-Wolves, Miami espugna facilmente Milwaukee con Wade da 30 punti, Knicks e Gallo bastonati a Phoenix.
