All hours of the East
Jerebko revenge game

There were 33 lead changes in the game, with Warriors being led by Durant, with 38 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Steph Curry added 31 points and eight assists.
Joe Ingles did most of the work for the Jazz with 27 points on 7 of the 11 3-point shots.
Jazz established franchise record for 3 points
To say that Utah jazz was hot in the first half would be a wild euphemism. Utah racked up 10 points at 3 points in the second quarter only en route to 47 points, giving it 81 points – that's right, 81 – for the half.
They cooled a bit in the second half, but just a little. They ended up making a franchise record of 19 points at 3 points in the tight defeat against the Warriors.
Kawhi obtains MVP songs
Oh man, the Raptors are going to be fun. In a match of the Eastern Conference, the Raptors defeated the Celtics with a brilliant performance by Kawhi Leonard, especially in the second half. He finished with 31 points and 10 rebounds, and even shot the songs of Toronto's most valuable player. If Leonard continues to play like this, the Raptors will be a force.
Butler booed in his debut at home
Oh, Jimmy. As expected, Butler was introduced to a booster choir during his home debut for the Minnesota Timberwolves. As long as his request for exchange is not honored, it is better to get used to it.
This did not seem to bother him, however, since he accumulated 33 points, seven rebounds, four steals and two blocks in a Wolves victory.
Trae catches fire
Rookie Trae Young was quick to warm up from the outside. Young scored three points and scored 13 points in the only quarter on Friday.
He finished with 20 points and nine assists while making four of his nine three-point attempts.
Sabonis goes up the ladder
Domantas Sabonis makes fun of defenders in front of him. He threw this monstrous dunk poster against the Bucks.
We will have to wait for Russ

Unfortunately, he decided not to play, buy according to Royce Young of ESPN, there is a chance that he plays Sunday.
