at Golden State 99, Boston 89: Appearing drained one night after the loss to the Lakers at Staples Center that ended their franchise-record 19-game winning streak, the Celtics blew a 14-point lead and were stunned by the lowly Warriors (9-22), who got 28 points from Stephen Jackson.

at Utah 97, Dallas 88: Rookie Kosta Koufos scored a career-high 18 points as the Jazz won without injured Carlos Boozer, Paul Millsap and Mehmet Okur, their top three scorers.
