The Rockets succeeded in eliminating the highly-rated Warriors from the NBA Cup race (91-90 the final). Decisive was the 7-0 partial in favor of Houston in the convulsive finale of the game. Green’s two converted free throws earned the victory for Houston, which celebrated a decidedly unexpected goal. Sengun shines, ending the game with an impressive 26 points on the scoreboard.

Great show of strength by Atlanta, which managed to rout Madison Square Garden, imposing itself on New York (108-100) and thus conquering the pass to Las Vegas. At 62-54 in favor of the Knicks, came a tremendous partial by the Hawks (27-8) that knocked out the hosts. Young finished with 22 points (8/22 from the field) and 11 assists.

Revenge for Young, who, in 2021, had been eliminated from the playoffs by the Knicks themselves.The Hawks all-star celebrated the victory by making the gesture of throwing the dice on the Knicks court: "The gesture? I had planned it with my little brother a few days ago. We had talked about it, so, I knew what I was going to do". Said, done.
