One of the most striking results was the Memphis Grizzlies' demolition of the Golden State Warriors.

Ben Simmons showed signs of his best form, contributing 12 points, seven assists, five rebounds, and five turnovers. Cam Johnson was particularly impressive, scoring a team-high 29 points, while Dorian Finney-Smith made a crucial block to seal the win for Brooklyn.
Victor Wembanyama had a standout performance as the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Atlanta Hawks 133-126 in overtime. Wembanyama scored 42 points on 13-of-24 shooting, including seven triples, and added six rebounds, five assists, two steals, and five blocks. Devin Vassell and Jeremy Sochan also contributed significantly with 23 and 20 points, respectively. Despite Trae Young's strong game with 23 points and 16 assists, the Hawks fell to 14-13, while the Spurs improved to 13-13.
