The Rockets didn’t feel the absence of James Harden/HOU very much, as they marched to an easy win over the Timberwolves.

The anticipated collision between the Spurs and Grizzlies fizzled when Marc Gasol/MEM left early with a knee injury. The Sixers showed their moxie with a comeback overtime win over the Bucks. The Pacers ground down the Celtics and the Raptors overcame John Wall’s/WAS third quarter heroics to register wins. The Lakers’ depth was too much for a weakened Golden State team.
