Tuesday night’s NBA action was headlined by Kevin Durant who made a successful return from injury to guide the Phoenix Suns to a dominant win over Los Angeles Lakers. Damian Lillard and Victor Wembanyama also shone for their teams in convincing wins.
Take a look at how Tuesday’s NBA game night unfolded:
Nikola Vucevic anchored the Chicago Bulls with a double-double, scoring 19 points and grabbing 12 rebounds as they breezed past the Washington Wizards in an NBA Cup matchup.
Despite Kyle Kuzma’s 23-point effort, Washington’s 0-3 Cup record confirmed their elimination from quarterfinal contention.
Damian Lillard led the Bucks charge with a 37-point, 12-assist performance, lifting the Milwaukee Bucks to a hard-fought win against the Miami Heat.
The Bucks, who let a 22-point second-half lead slip away, leaned on Lillard’s late-game heroics to secure their fifth straight victory.

Victor Wembanyama continued his red-hot form with another electrifying 34-point performance, including seven rebounds, three blocks, and six three-pointers, leading the San Antonio Spurs to a 128-115 victory over the Jazz. With this win, the Spurs improved to 10-8 on the season.
The return of Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal put an end to the Phoenix Suns’ five-game with a statement win over the Los Angeles Lakers. The duo each scored 23 points, while Devin Booker led the third-quarter charge to hand the Suns a 127-100 win. Booker finished with a game-high 26 points.
Anthony Davis posted a double-double with 25 points and 15 rebounds for the Lakers, but it wasn’t enough to stop their slide to a third straight defeat.
