Game of the Night
A game between two of the top teams in the East stuck to its billing by being the most competitive game of the slate.
In the end, after seven lead changes and eight ties, the Wizards came out on top and thus avenged their defeat to the Heat in Miami a couple of days ago.
Highlight of the Night
Last year's No. 1 overall pick, Anthony Edwards with his first 'Dunk of the Year' submission for the 2021-22 season.
