As we begin the first full week of March, we had a fairly eventful slate of games take place on Monday night.

Early on, the Nets absolutely crushed the Mavericks, while the Heat escaped with a victory against the Hawks, who made a late push in the fourth quarter.

Moving on, the Nuggets made a major comeback in the fourth quarter but the Spurs held on for a victory in a potential playoff preview, while the Pelicans upset a surging Jazz team that had won five in a row before tonight. Continuing the upset theme, the first-place Bucks fell to the lowly Suns, while the Kings were able to hold off the pesky Knicks.

To cap things off, the Lakers continued their losing ways as they dropped their fifth game in their past six games as they fell to the Clippers.

Here's everything you need to know about Monday night's action.

    Despite Rajon Rondo's triple-double effort (24 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds), the Lakers fell further out of the playoff picture with their 113-105 defeat to the Clippers.

    DeRozan and Aldridge lead Spurs past Nuggets

    Nets fans go crazy for Nowitzki

    No one but Dirk Nowitzki knows if this will be his last game at the Barclays Center, but Nets fans gave him a memorable sendoff. The building erupted late in the fourth quarter after the future Hall of Famer finally got his first bucket of the night.

    Luka hits from half-court

    Luka Doncic added to his rookie highlight reel with a half-court shot against the Nets. With the first half winding down, Doncic came down the floor, pulled up, and banked one in from about 50 feet.

    Wade passes Jordan

    Dwyane Wade made history on Monday, passing Michael Jordan for the most blocks in NBA history by a guard.

    Holiday drops 30, leads Pelicans to victory

    The Anthony Davis saga will hang over the Pelicans franchise until they make a decision on what to do with him this summer. However, Jrue Holiday gave fans something to feel good about on Monday by dropping 30 on the Jazz.

    Booker drops 22 to lead Suns to upset over Bucks

    The Phoenix Suns picked up one of the upsets of the night by taking down the Bucks and sweeping the season series against Giannis Antetokounmpo and company in the process. Devin Booker was instrumental in the effort, dropping 22 points on Milwaukee. 

    Bender rejects Antetokounmpo at the rim

    The Dragan Bender experience in Phoenix has not gone as well as the franchise hoped when they used a lottery pick to acquire him but he provided fans with a ready to cheer on Monday night by telling Giannis Antetokounmpo he would get nothing and like it on this attempt. 

    DJJ turns on Airplane Mode

    Derrick Jones Jr. was back at it again with another impressive dunk. Out on the fast break against the Hawks, Jones cocked it all the way back with his left hand before rocking the rim.
