The NBA season rolled on with a seven-game slate on Sunday.
14 teams were in action and here's the biggest storylines out of it:
- It took a competitive contest but behind John Collins' 35, Trae Young and the Hawks defeat the Dallas Mavericks without Luka Doncic.
- Miami Heat win big on Dwyane Wade's retirement night.
- In the big showdown at Milwaukee, the Bucks blowout the 76ers behind a big game by Giannis Antetokounmpo.
- Rockets beat Jazz in Salt Lake City in what could be a potential playoff meeting.

Phoenix Suns 112, Chicago Bulls 104
Kelly Oubre Jr. provided the highlight dunk of the game but the trio of Devin Booker (29p/5r/5a), Deandre Ayton (28p/19r/3b) and Ricky Rubio (18p/11a/7r/2s) did the major damage.
This is the Bulls' eighth straight loss.

Ben Simmons is offically rueld out for the rest of the game after re-aggravating his injured back in the first quarter.
Ben Simmons doesn’t look right. He appeared to maybe tweak his back after going into the cameras following the layup he made a minute ago. Something to monitor.
