By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

The Latvian “unicorn” scored seven consecutive points to help the New York Knicks forge a tie with New Orleans in the final minute and Jarrett Jack with two free throws sealed the deal.

Spaniard Ricky Rubio had 16 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists as the Utah Jazz despite not having Rudy Gobert managed to beat the Cavs 104-101.

Croatian sensation Dario Saric had 20 points and nine rebounds and keyed a second-half run as the 76ers rallied from 13 down to beat the Denver Nuggets 107-102.  For the losing side, Nikola Jokic had 19 points, 13 rebounds and six assists.

Slovenian Goran Dragic took over in the second half Saturday night, leading the Miami Heat back from an 18-point deficit in a 117-111 victory over the Orlando Magic. The “Dragon” had 14 points in the fourth to help Miami avoid a second straight embarrassing defeat.
