Parise’s return was well received by the Bulls, who reeled off a third straight win against the Falcons. For Atlanta, this is the second loss in a row. Three turnovers are missing for the Hornets, who fell victim to their own clumsiness with a 3-pointer against the Jazz. Thus, Utah recorded its third success in four games.
Finally, after losing three in a row and eight in their last ten games, Portland is smiling again with a win over San Antonio. The Texans have won just two of their last twelve games…
Detroit-Milwaukee Orlando – Boston Houston-Minnesota Sacramento – Memphis
Chicago-Atlanta: 111-110
Unlike the first two matches between these two teams, this time there is no resounding victory. The Bulls controlled most of the game, especially in the first half led by Zach LaVine. The Hawks had 18 turnovers and Trae Young was harmless early in the game.
Late in the game, Atlanta finds point guard John Collins and the Hawks trail by just three points. Zach LaVine hit a 3-pointer and two free throws, DeMar DeRozan (26 points for his 1,000th career game) added the game-winning shot and the Bulls took a breather. Even Patrick Williams hit a 3-pointer two minutes later to seal the feat. Third in a row for Chicago.

Utah-Charlotte: 120-102
Now, how can you exist in a matchup with only two 3-pointers on the clock? That’s the equation Charlotte has to solve in Utah. Still without LaMelo Ball, the Hornets were as clumsy as ever, going a horrendous 2/16 behind the arc… However, they’ll more or less stay in the game.
Terry Rozier finally finds the back of the net early in the second half (he’ll be the only 3-pointer) and Steve Clifford’s men trail by just ten points in the final quarter. Lauri Markkanen (25 points) and his group went 18-4 in six minutes to put them away for good.

Portland-San Antonio: 147-127
The Blazers are recovering with their offense in a tough spot for a few days. Because Portland’s defense (like their opponent’s) was left in the locker room. So the Spurs had their chances until Portland went on a 13-0 run in the third quarter.
Damian Lillard (37 points and 12 assists) scored baskets, Shaedon Sharpe accompanied him, and the Blazers rolled through a quiet final quarter. In this victory, the first after three defeats, they will lead by 24 points.
