After yesterday's victory over the Cavaliers, the Heat rushed to Orlando, and the fourth quarter affected the Heat to trail by as many as 15 points, and at the key moment, Butler once again showed his tough guy side, in just 3 minutes, Butler gritted his teeth, scored 10 points alone, led the team to a wave of 12-0 offensive climax, and returned the game to suspense.
With five seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Heat trailed by three points but had the ball, and Butler faced a two-man defense and hit a difficult three-point tie with extreme body twisting to drag the game into overtime.
Unfortunately, the fourth quarter has completely overdrawn Butler's physical strength, and he was obviously unable to make a single shot in overtime, and the Heat could only lose in the end.

Facing the Eastern Conference powerhouse Celtics, Trae Young entered the state early in the first half, in addition to maintaining his usual offensive mode, but also incarnated as the team's pie feeder, contributing a double-double of 17 points and 11 assists at halftime, but unfortunately did not give the team a lead in the score, but trailed the other side by 10 points.

34+15+6, Tatum shot down the Eagles with all his might
Celtic 134-125 Nick Hawks.
Entering the final sprint of the regular season, Tatum's form suddenly became extremely inconsistent, and his shooting felt fluctuated, which also cost the team the top spot in the East.

This time, the 12th-place Thunder in the West away from the 11th Pelicans, such a card battle is not a mistake for the two teams aiming to impact the playoffs.
Facing the Pelicans, who lacked major generals, Alexander came up to complete the offensive and defensive intensity, cutting 14 of 5-of-6 in the first quarter, while also making four steals to help the team establish a double-digit lead early.
By the end of the first half, Alexander had scored 23 points on 7-of-10 shooting, helping the team further extend the gap to 19 points and lay the foundation for victory.

16+6+16, Paul crazy tandem team difficult to stop losing
Sun 119-128 defeated the king.
Worthy of being the league's most efficient team, the Kings did not score 20+ points in the game, but as many as seven scored double-doubles, nine scored at least nine points, and the bench combined for 65 points.
Even though the "god of point guards" Paul frantically tandemed the team throughout the game and gave out 16 assists, in front of the more powerful Kings, the Suns without Durant were finally slightly inferior.
Despite not winning the game, Paul's outstanding performance could not be concealed.
Paul played 38 minutes in the game, shooting 6-of-13 from the field, including 2-of-9 three-pointers, 2-of-2 from the free throw line, and had a double-double of 16 points, 6 rebounds, 16 assists and 1 steal, with a plus-minus of +2.
Tucker 37+8+10 was not the best today
Jazz defeated Hornets 119-111.
In recent games, injuries to Sexton and Clarkson have put Horton Tucker in the team's starting position at the back. And he also seized the opportunity to repay the trust of his coach with two consecutive outstanding performances of 20+.
Tucker continued to start the game against the Hornets on the road, and with Markkanen feeling sluggish all the time (3-of-22), Tucker once again played the team's shocker, especially in the last three quarters, where he scored double-doubles in each quarter to help the team win the game.
Tucker played 32 minutes in the game, shooting 14-of-24 from the field, including 2-of-5 three-pointers and 7-of-8 free throws, with 37 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, with a plus-minus of +17.
It is worth mentioning that Tucker's scores, rebounds, and assists are all his personal season highs, and it is also the night when the Lakers' veteran emerged.
In addition, it was the first time in Tucker's career that he scored 20+ in three consecutive games, in which Tucker averaged 27 points, 5.3 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game.
However, with such an explosive performance, Tucker still did not win the best player of the day because he met the reversing Curry!
Curry scored 20 minutes in 7 minutes and was named the best of the day
To be able to beat many of the above stars to be selected as today's best, you can imagine what a performance against the sky, right! This person is Curry, the three-point king of history.
Facing the Bucks, who lacked a letter brother and had no leader, I thought that the Warriors would easily win the game with the home Dragon Buff, but the reality always backfired, and with a slight advantage in the first three quarters, the fourth quarter almost overturned.
In the final quarter, the Warriors fell into a collective power outage, and the Bucks took advantage of a wave of counterattacks, resulting in an eight-point trail with two minutes left in the fourth quarter.
At the time of crisis, as the boss of the team, Curry stepped up decisively, he hit four consecutive shots in the last two minutes of regular time to score 11 points, including three three-pointers and one two-pointer, successfully equalizing the score, and then he became the team's last line of defense, blocking Holladay's killer shot and dragging the game into overtime.
In overtime, the Bucks, whose mentality was affected, were in no shape and hit iron, and the team scored only 5 points. On the other hand, the morale of the Warriors was boosted, and Curry scored 9 points on 3-of-4 shooting, and the Warriors finally crossed the line 125-116.
Curry played 43 minutes in the game, shooting 13 of 27, including 6 of 15 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and had 36 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, with a plus/minus of +10.
Curry scored just 16 points with less than two minutes left in the fourth quarter, scoring 36 points overall. He scored 11 points in the last 1 minute and 51 seconds of the final quarter to pull the Warriors into overtime, scored 9 more points in 5 minutes of overtime, and Curry single-handedly scored 20 points in 7 minutes to help the Warriors turn their lives against the sky!
With Curry's reversal in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, there is no doubt that he was named the best player of the day!
