A four-game NBA Wednesday slate also featured the Cleveland Cavaliers posting their second 15-game winning streak of the season, along with an insane Tyrese Haliburton game-winner.
Tyrese Haliburton returned and nailed one of the most clutch moments this season. Meanwhile, the playoff-bound Cleveland Cavaliers continued their record-setting season, Zion Williamson secured a triple-double, and the Detroit Pistons spiced up a three-time contention for East's no. 4 spot.
