NBA Box Score: Boston Celtics 132 Atlanta Hawks 106<\/a><\/p>\n Atlanta Hawks’ Australian point guard Dyson Daniels<\/a> (ankle) was ruled out versus the Celtics. He is listed as day to day.<\/p>\n NBA\u00a0Box Score: Indiana Pacers 78 Detroit Pistons 121<\/a><\/p>\n Detroit improved to 30\u201310 (17\u20134 home) with a dominant wire-to-wire win over Indiana, who fell to 10-33 overall, at Little Caesars Arena.<\/p>\n Detroit blew the game open immediately, leading 31\u201311 after the first quarter and 59\u201325 at halftime, then continued to punish Indiana\u2019s second unit with superior shot quality, pace, and physicality. The Pistons shot 49% from the field and 47% from three, assisted on 32 baskets, and won the rebounding battle 51\u201342, turning consistent stops into transition scoring throughout the night.<\/p>\n For Indiana, Australian wing Johnny Furphy<\/a> started and logged 24 minutes, finishing with 5 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block. While the Pacers struggled collectively to generate offence (35% FG, 23% from three), Furphy remained active defensively, competed on the glass from the wing, and stayed engaged as Detroit\u2019s early surge took the game out of reach.<\/p>\n Cade Cunningham and Duncan Robinson led a balanced Pistons attack, while Detroit\u2019s bench maintained pressure, extending the margin across all four quarters. Indiana never recovered after the opening stretch, trailing by at least 30 points for much of the second half.<\/p>\n NBA Box Score: Minnesota Timberwolves 123 San Antonio Spurs 126<\/a><\/p>\n Australian Boomers veteran Joe Ingles<\/a> didn’t suit up for the Timberwolves today.<\/p>\n NBA\u00a0Box Score: Charlotte Hornets 116 Golden State Warriors 136<\/a><\/p>\n Golden State moved to 24\u201319 (16\u20136 home) with an authoritative home win over Charlotte, who fell to 15-27, behind sustained offensive pressure across all four quarters.<\/p>\n The Warriors led 39\u201328 after the first, extended the margin to 69\u201357 at halftime, and blew the game open with a 43-point third quarter, repeatedly punishing Charlotte\u2019s defensive rotations with ball movement and perimeter shot-making. Golden State finished at 55% from the field and 44% from three, assisted on 34 baskets, and controlled the game\u2019s tempo once separation was established.<\/p>\n For Charlotte, Australian wing Josh Green<\/a> came off the bench for 15 minutes, finishing scoreless but contributing one rebound, one assist, and two turnovers. His minutes came during a stretch where the Hornets struggled to slow Golden State\u2019s bench units, as the deficit ballooned through the middle quarters.<\/p>\n Brandon Miller led Charlotte\u2019s scoring with 28 points, but the Hornets were unable to sustain defensive stops once Golden State\u2019s shooting rhythm set in. The Warriors\u2019 depth and efficiency ensured the result was beyond reach well before the final quarter.<\/p>\n
