There were seven games Wednesday night and the basketball was fantastic. Lots of close games, incredible dunks, and plenty of narratives to dive into. 

Here we go.

NBA scores for Wednesday, March 7

All times Eastern

Rockets make it 17 in a row

The Rockets' string of wins continues. It wasn't pretty in the end, but they managed to hold off a late Bucks comeback and some stagnant offense to pull out the win. James Harden poured in 26 points, which was enough to beat out the 30-point effort by Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Rockets' next matchup is Friday against the Raptors and that should be a serious challenge.

LeBron takes over late

LeBron James completely took over to push the Cavaliers past the Nuggets. He was unstoppable in the fourth quarter and finished the game with 39 points. 

DeRozan throws down monster dunk

DeMar DeRozan had a dunk to give the Raptors the lead late and it was one of the nastiest slams this season. 

Raptors clinch

The Raptors' victory over the Pistons not only clinched them a spot in the playoffs, it put them on pace for 60 wins. Their incredible season continues.

Pelicans win 10 in a row despite Davis injury

Anthony Davis had another injury Wednesday night when he landed on his ankle wrong. The Pelicans managed to pick up their 10th win in a row without him, but there is obvious concern after he didn't return to the game.

VanVleet wins it

DeMar DeRozan got all the glory, but Fred VanVleet was the one that iced it for the Raptors with this clutch 3-pointer.

Giannis goes coast to coast

Giannis Antetokounmpo showed off his handles on this coast-to-coast trip for two points.

Mitchell finds Crowder without looking

Donovan Mitchell hit Jae Crowder with the no-look pass. This is just nasty.

Oladipo blocks Gobert

Rudy Gobert is nicknamed the Stifle Tower for all the shots he blocks, but this time around Victor Oladipo got the best of him.

Dunn finds Markkanen behind the back

Kris Dunn went behind his back to find Lauri Markkanen for a full-length dunk.

Brooks goes off in the fourth

Dillon Brooks blew up in the fourth quarter with 20 points, but it wasn't enough to lead the Grizzlies to a win.

Gordon throws down the reverse
