Like a real wall on both tables! This is what Neemias Queta showed in the Boston Celtics' fourth consecutive victory in the NBA regular season, having recorded 19 rebounds and five tackles, in addition to 10 points, in the 114-93 victory in Houston. The Portuguese midfielder also surpassed the 1,000 points barrier in the League, on a night to remember later. In tonight's win over Houston, Neemi passed 1,000 points 👏 pic.twitter.com/uNeX8kXZeA — Boston Celtics (@celtics) February 5, 2026 The Celtics went into halftime with a seven-point lead (49-42), which they extended to 26 (77-51) in the middle of the third period, which they ended up winning 81-63. That was the moment that decided the meeting. Derrick White, with 28 points and six triples converted, was the star of the Boston team, which was without Jaylen Brown due to physical problems. At Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks confirmed their status as the best team in the NBA by winning their eighth consecutive victory in the regular season, guaranteed after two overtimes, against the Denver Nuggets (134-127). Jalen Brunson (42 points, nine assists and eight rebounds) and Karl-Anthony Towns (24 points and 12 rebounds) shone for the Knicks, while Nikola Jokic completed a triple-double for the Nuggets (30 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists). One of last night's surprises happened in Texas, where the San Antonio Spurs beat the Western Conference leader, Oklahoma City Thunder, 116-106. Victor Wembanyama recorded a double-double (22 points and 14 rebounds), while City Thunder's MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander missed the game due to injury. Also noteworthy is the Minnesota Timberwolves' first victory in Toronto (128-126) since January 2004, in a game in which they recovered from an 18-point deficit in the third period. The Sacramento Kings continue to live through an authentic nightmare, who suffered their 10th consecutive defeat in the League, against the Memphis Grizzlies (129-125), while the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Los Angeles Clippers clearly, 124-89, and Trey Murphy III added 44 points (with 12 triples converted) in the Milwaukee Bucks' triumph against the New Orleans Pelicans, 141-137.
