The Cavaliers achieved a prestigious victory against the Celtics in the early hours of Wednesday, March 6. Despite being significantly behind in the third quarter (71-87), Cleveland managed to turn the tables and clinch the win in the closing minutes (105-104). This was an impressive triumph against arguably the best team in the NBA currently, who had been on an 11-game winning streak. Georges Niang played for 27 minutes and scored 9 points.
In another game that took place last night, the Pacers also secured a victory against the Mavericks (120-137). Despite a stellar performance from Luka Dončić (39 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists), he was unable to lead his team to victory. Dallas’ point guard was outshined by Pascal Siakam and his teammates, including Tyrese Haliburton (19 points) and Myles Turner (20 points). Meanwhile, the Cameroonian power forward recorded a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds.
