Boston creates the night’s biggest margin

Chicago’s 99 points marked the lowest scoring output among the 10 teams in action. Boston’s ability to combine the night’s top offensive total with the lowest points allowed created the clearest two-way result on the board.
Cleveland survives Minnesota in the closest finish
