NBA Night: Westbrook fa 40 (punti e triple doppie) ma va KO contro gli Hornets. Vittorie Nuggets e Bulls in chiave PO

Nelle altre partite della notte, Westbrook, con 40 triple doppie realizzate, si porta a -1 dal record di Robertson, ma esce sconfitto contro gli Hornets di Belinelli (7 punti in 17′ di gioco). Importanti vittorie in chiave playoff per i Nuggets di un ottimo Gallinari (29 punti a referto, miglior marcatore di serata), che continuano a sperare nella postseason e per i Bulls di Butler, che trascina i suoi sul campo dei Pelicans con 39 punti. Cadono Grizzlies e Hawks sul campo di Lakers e Nets, mentre continuano a vincere Raptors e Rockets, seppur privi di Harden, a cui è stato concesso un turno di riposo.
