Marco Belinelli scored 18 points and Ersan Ilyasova added 13 points plus 11 rebounds, helping Philadelphia 76ers extend their winning streak to 12 – 0 after defeating the Detroit Pistons 115 – 108 while also eliminating them from playoff contention.

This result allowed Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks to punch their playoffs ticket even though they didn’t play a game on Wednesday.

Furkan Korkmaz was DNP for the Sixers in the match.

In New Orleans, Nikola Mirotic combined his first… beardless NBA game with a top-notch performance of 25 points and seven rebounds as the Pelicans routed the Memphis Grizzlies 123 – 95 to stay within the playoff zone in the Western Conference.

Marc Gasol didn’t connect to the basket in the 20 minutes he spent on the floor for the Grizzlies.

With Ivica Zubac providing an all-around output of 8 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds, the L.A. Lakers beat the San Antonio Spurs 122 – 112 in overtime, in Staples Center. Gregg Popovich refused to take any questions after the game.
