Jaylen Brown scored 44 points as NBA champions the Boston Celtics responded to consecutive defeats with a 142-105 victory over the Indiana Pacers.

Jayson Tatum contributed 22 points and Payton Pritchard added a further 18 as Boston recorded their biggest points total of the season.

The win kept the Celtics in touch with Eastern Conference leaders the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cleveland improved their league-best record to 27 wins in 31 games - four more than the Celtics - with a 149-135 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Friday.

Donovan Mitchell posted 33 points as six Cavaliers players reached double figures in the team's sixth consecutive victory, achieved despite NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic's triple-double of 27 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists for Denver.

Elsewhere, Anthony Edwards made a three-pointer with 23.2 seconds left to give the Minnesota Timberwolves a 113-112 win over hosts the Houston Rockets, who led by 16 points with less than five minutes to play.

Jalen Brunson scored 26 points as the New York Knicks extended their winning streak to six games with a 108-85 victory over the Magic in Orlando, while Victor Wembanyama produced 19 points and seven rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs beat the Brooklyn Nets 96-87 in Brooklyn.

The Los Angeles Clippers won 102-92 against the Golden State Warriors, who were without the injured Stephen Curry.

Kyrie Irving's 20 points helped the Dallas Mavericks beat the Phoenix Suns 98-89, and the Memphis Grizzlies recorded an eighth win in 10 by beating the New Orleans Pelicans 132-124.
