\u201cWe played focused and free<\/strong>\u201d, Murray expressed after the match.

Knicks defeat Magic despite Karl Towns’ absence<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nThe New York Knicks<\/strong> defended their dominance at Madison Square Garden by defeating the Orlando Magic<\/strong> 106-100, despite the Dominican Karl-Anthony Towns<\/strong> being out due to discomfort in his left calf.\n\nPoint guard Jalen Brunson<\/strong> led the victory with 30 points and nine assists, while Josh Hart<\/strong> signed a valuable double-double of 17 points and 12 rebounds.
\u201cWe played paying attention to details<\/strong>\u201d, Brunson indicated after the victory, which left the Knicks’ home record at 13-1<\/strong>, their best home start since the 1992-93 season.\n\nOrlando lost their star Franz Wagner<\/strong> in the first quarter, who left with a left leg injury.\n\n\n

Celtics survive collapse and defeat Raptors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nThe Boston Celtics<\/strong> squandered a 23-point lead but recovered in time to beat the Toronto Raptors<\/strong> 121-113, led by 30 points from Jaylen Brown<\/strong>.\n\nToronto rallied with a 34-10 run between the third and fourth quarters, taking the lead, but Boston adjusted defensively again. “You’re not always going to play at the highest level,” acknowledged coach Joe Mazzulla<\/strong>, who highlighted his players’ ability to react.\n\nThe Celtics maintained their three-point shooting pace by making 20 of 47 attempts, with Derrick White leading that department.\n\n\n

LeBron Crowns Himself in Lakers’ Triumph<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nAt 40 years old<\/strong>, LeBron James<\/strong> continues to deliver memorable nights. The star scored 29 points<\/strong>, seven rebounds, and six assists in the 112-108 victory of the Los Angeles Lakers<\/strong> over the Philadelphia 76ers<\/strong>.\n\nJames scored five of the last seven points of the game and celebrated his final basket by putting on the iconic “crown” in front of more than 20 thousand fans.
“My teammates were tired and I felt good physically to close it out<\/strong>“, said the four-time MVP, who was coming off seeing his streak of 1,297 games scoring more than 10 points cut.\n\nTyrese Maxey led Philadelphia with 28 points in a duel that was decided on free throws.\n\nThe Lakers remain second in the Western Conference, while the 76ers occupy the seventh position in the East.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
