Rome, March 12 (LaPresse) – Four NBA regular-season games were played last night. The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Brooklyn Nets 109-104, marking their 15th consecutive win. Darius Garland was pivotal, scoring 18 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter. The Detroit Pistons beat the Washington Wizards 123-103 in a tense game, highlighted by the double ejection of Richaun Holmes and Marcus Smart in the final quarter for elbowing an opponent. Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with 27 points and 10 assists, while Simone Fontecchio added 8 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists in 18 minutes and 30 seconds of play. The New Orleans Pelicans triumphed over the Los Angeles Clippers 127-120, with Zion Williamson registering a triple-double with 22 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds. The game of the night was the dramatic finish where the Indiana Pacers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 115-114. Tyrese Haliburton’s three-pointer with 3 seconds left tied the game at 114-114, but the crucial moment came when Giannis Antetokounmpo fouled Haliburton simultaneously. Haliburton then made the free throws, sealing the Pacers' victory.
