The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 123-122, led by D'Angelo Russell's season-high 44 points.
Russell scored the game-winning goal with 5.9 seconds left for the Lakers, who were without injured LeBron James.
The 28-year-old had nine assists and made a career-high nine 3-pointers.
Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded his eighth triple-double of the season, but the Bucks suffered their second straight loss.
The Greek forward had 34 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists on Friday.
Also, when the Minnesota Timberwolves lost 113-104 in overtime to the Cleveland Cavaliers, center Rudy Gobert admitted that an “immature reaction” “cost the team the game.”
The Frenchman was ejected for his sixth foul of the game with 27 seconds left in the fourth quarter when the Timberwolves were leading.
However, he remained on the court and made a gesture like rubbing “money” with his finger toward the referee, resulting in a technical foul.
After the Cavs tied the game and forced overtime, Darius Garland's 34 points and Jarrett Allen's 33 points helped the Cavs win.
Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards defeated the Charlotte Hornets 112-100, ending their losing streak at 16.
The Wizards trailed 76-68 after three quarters, but scored 44 points in the final quarter for a rare victory.
