Here are the official clips worth your time, with a quick note on each.
Nets at Celtics, the overtime finish
The closest game of the night went to overtime in Boston, and the Celtics won it 125-124 at the buzzer. Boston is 3-1 and has won three straight; Brooklyn is still looking for its first win at 0-4. Video: NBA on YouTube.
Jayson Tatum’s 40-point night
Tatum hit 10 of 20 shots and finished with 40 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds, then ended it with the winner as time ran out in overtime. Video: @NBA on X.
The winner, from the stands
Same shot, different view: the Celtics’ own angle, and the TD Garden crowd losing it. Video: @celtics on X.
Seven late winners since 2019
The league counted it as Tatum’s seventh game-winning shot with under three seconds left since the start of the 2019-20 season, the most of anyone in that span. Here are all seven, back to back. Video: @NBA on X.
Mikel Brown Jr. nearly steals it
The Nets rookie scored 16 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, with four threes, including the one that forced the extra period. Michael Porter Jr. led Brooklyn with 27 points and 12 rebounds. Video: @BrooklynNets on X.
Derrick White hears the MVP chants
White had 16 points and 7 assists, and the Boston crowd let him know it. His reaction is the best part. Video: @NBA on X.
Karl-Anthony Towns goes 20 and 20
The Knicks got their first win of the season, 111-97 over Detroit, and Towns had 27 points and 20 rebounds, the first 20-20 game by anyone this season. Video: @NBA on X.
Tyler Kolek’s no-look, behind-the-back pass
Kolek only scored two points, but this steal and blind pass for a Towns one-handed dunk was one of the plays of the night. Video: @NBA on X.
Josh Hart, the defensive player of the game
Hart had five steals to go with 6 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and the Knicks gave him their defensive player of the game honor. Video: @nyknicks on X.
Jalen Brunson: ‘We’re the Knicks’
Brunson scored 23 and had a short answer when he was asked who this team is after a 0-3 start. Video: @NBA on X.
Victor Wembanyama’s nine dunks
San Antonio beat Sacramento 130-103, and Wembanyama had 29 points on 14-of-21 shooting, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks. The league noted his nine dunks tied his career high. Video: @NBA on X.
Wembanyama to the rescue
The ball got stuck on top of the backboard in the third quarter. While the arena crew reached for a pole, Wembanyama just reached up and knocked it down, then shared a laugh with Domantas Sabonis. Video: @NBA on X.
Julian Champagnie’s eight threes
Champagnie made 8 of 13 from deep and scored 26, most of it in a first half that broke the game open. Sacramento is 0-4. Video: @spurs on X.
Trail Blazers at Lakers, the full highlights
Portland won 136-129 in Los Angeles to stay unbeaten at 3-0 and hand the Lakers their first loss. Damian Lillard’s late three helped close it. Video: NBA on YouTube.
Portland’s four-man scoring night
Ja Morant and Deni Avdija had 23 each, Jrue Holiday 22 and Lillard 21. Together that was 89 of Portland’s 136 points, and Avdija added 9 assists. Video: @NBA on X.
Luka Doncic scores 41 in the loss
Two nights after his 52 in Utah, Doncic had 41 points, 9 assists and six threes. Austin Reaves added 26, but the Lakers fell to 3-1. Video: @NBA on X.
Doncic’s ball fake and no-look pass
The pump fake, the euro-step, then a pass to the corner without looking. One of several passes from Doncic worth a replay on Tuesday. Video: @NBA on X.
Ja Morant to Robert Williams III
Morant made 9 of 13 shots for his 23 points, and this lob to Williams, who finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds, was one of the prettiest plays of the night. Video: @trailblazers on X.
‘Call Ja!’
Micah Potter cut into Morant’s postgame interview with a message of his own. It is short, and worth it. Video: @NBA on X.
