Cleveland shot 60 percent from the field and 48 percent from three-point range while recording 38 assists in that shootout victory over Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>-Boston and San Antonio battle in the matchup of the night. The Celtics sit second in the Eastern Conference with a 24-13 record, while San Antonio is second in the Western Conference with a 26-11 record.<\/p>\n<p>-The Pistons look to slow down the Clippers. Detroit still maintains the best record in the East, but they\u2019ll have to slow down a resurgent LA team. The Clippers have won eight of their last 10 outings.<\/p>\n<p>8:11 PM \/ January 10, 2026<\/p>\n<p>Pacers Lead Heat at the Half, 61-45<\/p>\n<p>Indiana out-assisted Miami in that opening half,
