Thanks to a big three with one minute left in overtime, Bogdan Bogdanovic stole Goran Dragic’s thunder and the win.

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

The Serb sharpshooter made the score 119-115 with one minute left in overtime on the way to a 123-119 win for Sacramento over Miami. Bogdanovic finished the game with 14 points, while Goran Dragic scored 33 points for the losing side, but it was not enough.

The Magic bounced back from an embarrassing defeat to beat the Bucks 126-117. Montenegrin Nikola Vucevic had 22 points, nine rebounds and nine assists for the winners, who were routed 108-72 Tuesday night in San Antonio, their fifth straight loss.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 38 points for Milwaukee, which has lost seven of 10 while battling for playoff positioning.

The Washington Wizards beat the short-handed Boston Celtics 125-124 after a double overtime. French center Ian Mahinmi scored 14 and Czech guard Tomas Satoransky had 10 points for Washington, which played the night before but still had enough energy at the end to rally past the weary Celtics, who blew a 20-point lead.

The hosts were without All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving (knee) and center Al Horford (illness).

The Warriors beat the Lakers with Georgian Zaza Pachulia registering a double-double (10 p. 12 r.) and Israeli Omri Casspi adding 15 points.

Here are last night’s results and euro-scorers.
