Michael Jordan síce zaznamenal vyše 30 bodov, no jeho Washington aj napriek tomu podľahol doma Golden State 100:109.
Sezónnym maximom 44 bodov rozohrávač Tracy McGrady pomohol Orlandu k triumfu nad Sacramentom 115:105.
Ani 20-bodové vedenie v prvom polčase nestačilo New Yorku na víťazstvo nad Indianou (95:103).
